Her writing style is more markedly peculiar in this book. The dialogue is especially sporadic. It's like being on a yo-yo. A character says something, and another character while considering how to respond goes off into a long explanatory thought tangent of memories for several paragraphs or pages, then suddenly the second character finally responds to the first character's question, but by that time I've forgotten what the original question was, so I have to go back and piece together the dialogue again. Like a yo-yo, I follow the string down a random story tangent, then I'm yanked back to the original dialogue.
However, the characters are wonderful, and the story is brilliant, of course. If you can follow it.

I like her other books with friendly ghosts, but this one has way too much creepy stuff, like clergymen practicing exorcism with pentacles and curses. And the clergymen are the "bad guys"! And then there's thirteen witches who practice voodoo and "help" the children to save the ghosts. Not good things. I don't like it.
Not good literature, of course, but a fun read. I skip over the technical paragraphs.
Read the Bible in a year! Woo-hoo! And now I'm going to start all over again. Can't get enough! :)
Enchanting! "The silent desert sky enters your soul and stays there." Truly fascinating story, and the writing is superb, as always. The desert scenes are amazingly real and the various characters we meet are phenomenal. However, this is not a book for kids or teens, since there are mentions of sex, although in as brief and as tasteful a way as possible.
I liked the story, and the mystery was quite good. The characters are great too!
But the writing is terribly repetitive. They repeat every single thing over and again as if assuming that the reader can't pay attention long enough to remember that, for instance, the heroine called the villain on the phone at half past eight on Tuesday night. I remember. I read it already. You don't have to remind me twenty times that she called him on Tuesday night.
