Shorecliff

dark
mysterious
fast-paced
This is absolutely dreadful. The heroine is such a hysterical wet blanket that I was almost rooting for the (extremely obvious) antagonist to send her round the bend and off to the mental hospital, or jail for murdering her useless husband, or pretty much anything, really. Her name is Anita, and she's insupportable. To give an indication of this silly woman: she is simultaneously convinced that a ghost is stalking her, and that the dodgy people around her are pretending to be the ghost that's stalking her, but somehow the repeated forced injections that she's subject to, at the appearance of the so-called ghost, are given to her by the ghost and not by the people. I just can't with this dimwit.
Even worse than the characterisation, however, is the pacing. It's so fast, and so compressed, that the storyline becomes somehow less credible than it ever deserves.
