A Tale of Two Centuries... and so much more
This is a fun read. If you are familiar with Sarasota, FL - you should read this book. If circus life is of interest to you - you should read this book. If you like a good suspense thriller/ghost story - you should read this book. Well-researched and well-written, the story carries you along. It was a true pleasure.

Fascinating, and a great suspense/love story
It's so nice to read a well-written novel that also contains fascinating information and is suspenseful besides. The Midget's House is all of this and more. My favorite parts had to do with Lucinda's world in the circus (and the story of her forbidden love), but I also loved the suspense story in the present, and the way the author wove the two parts of the book together. Her research must have been extensive, but it doesn't "show;" everything unfolds very naturally.

Gives a good name to low-cost Kindle books
The Midget's House was listed as free for a limited time and I snatched it up right then. Whenever I get a free Kindle book (I only download the free ones anymore) and I like it, I feel as if I should return the favor and review it.Other reviewers have gone into the plot details very well; I suggest you read those reviews. I want to say from the perspective of an avid book junkie that this book is very well written. The story just pulls you in. I could see it on bookshelves at big chain bookstores; I could see it as a book club pick; in other words, some big publisher should take note of this book and make a lot of money off of it! Thanks for a wonderful read!*I don't know the author; I'm just your average Jane Reader. :-)

Product Description
The Midget's House is a tale of two women (one alive, and the other long dead), each mourning lost love and struggling for control of the one place that feels like home.
Marisa Delano is thrilled when she unexpectedly inherits the fairy tale-like cottage on the bay--until she learns that Lucinda Lacey, a sideshow midget who died on the property in 1924, still inhabits it. As Marisa searches for answers about the unwelcome presence in her new home, all the clues lead to one conclusion: on the day Lucinda died, she murdered her lover, circus owner Cyrus Parker.
Alternating between Lucinda's and Marisa's perspectives, The Midget's House takes readers from the carnivals, circuses, and freak shows of the early twentieth century, to the boom-and-bust of today's Florida.
Haunting in every sense of the word, this genre-blending tale will stay with you long after you turn the last page. Top to learn more
