Publisher's summary
Finally, at Windtop in Cold Spring Harbor, Hollis finds sanctuary, and begins to put in place the pieces of her life. But strange and frightening things keep happening. Voices sing the song "Rainsong" that she wrote for Ricky. Guitars play from nowhere. Instead of a sanctuary, Windtop has become a trap.
Hollis Sands is no coward. No matter what happens, she is determined to search out the truth. But she does not know how close to death she is.

Story
Lacey Elliot has been a woman without a past since the day her mother whisked her off to Charlottesville, refusing for 30 years to speak of her father, her family or her history. But when Lacey intercepts a desperate letter from an aunt in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, she sees her chance to confront the past that has terrified her mother and to fill in the gaps in her own life. Against the charm and the colorful, turbulent history of the picturesque town, the violent history of Lacey's own heritage is about to repeat itself.

TreMellyn's young daugher proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose arrogant demeanor unleashed unfamiliar sensations and turmoil—even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into her life.

Nicholas Urfe goes to a Greek island to teach at a private school and becomes enmeshed in curious happenings at the home of a mysterious Greek recluse, Maurice Conchis. Are these events, involving attractive young English sisters, just psychological games, or an elaborate joke, or more? Reality shifts as the story unfolds. The Magus reflected the issues of the 1960s perfectly, and it continues to create tension and concern today.

Surprisingly current except ...
Some stories have a timeless theme to them. This one has love, jealousy, obsession, grief, healing. One of the sub-themes for this book is an environmental awareness and I found that pleasing and surprising. The male/female attitudes were a little dated but not offensive because the heroine was still strong and persistent.
The mystery is twisty and a little surprising. I often solve the mystery before I get to the end of the book and this one kept me guessing until the end.
The narrator’s voice is strong. She did use separate voices for all of the different people. I didn’t like all of the male voices but that is personal preference.

Disappointing Phyllis Whitney
This was the most boring Phyllis Whitney book I’ve ever read and so very much longer than it needed to be. I began to wonder if she was being paid by the word. It was full of too much descriptive detail about unimportant things and way too much repetitive angst. I did not enjoy this narrator’s flat voice nor her various character voices, which mostly just sounded weird to me. I cannot recommend this one.
