Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult crafts a powerful novel that is equal parts ghost story, mystery, and timeless romance. Ross Wakeman's fianc├®e died in a car accident eight years ago, yet he is obsessed with crossing her path again. Taking up "ghost hunting" as a profession, he is hired to debunk supernatural claims that an old house lies on an ancient burial ground. As he investigates, he uncovers an intricate tapestry of love, murder, and shocking secrets.

"I wanted to read a Jodi Picoult book, because of all of the hype about My Sister's Keeper. Since I am not generally a fan of sad books though, I thought that I would try her book, Second Glance, instead. This book was a ghost, mystery, love story. It was very multi-layered and to be honest, I probably need to read it again to catch everything I missed, but it did keep my attention. During the book, it dealt with some heavy issues, such as depression,suicide and death, but overall it was a good read."

    " What an eyeopener into American white supremacy in the 1920s and 30s. I find some of her books irritating but this one held my interest right to the end. In saying that, it hadn't grabbed me by the first 50 pages, and I nearly put it down, but decided to give it a few more pages. I'm glad I did. "

    " I am now hooked on this author and must consume Picoult's other novels. This was such an engaging, fast-paced, well developed, and fun story. The various points of views made it refreshing and it was a interesting to learn about ghosts, Native American traits, and eugenics. Even her sex scenes were done tastefully, and felt realistic versus just being there for the sake of it. "

    " This is the second Picoult book I have put down. (haha and it's called second glance...nevermind). There were too many characters to follow. I had to keep looking back at previous chapters to see who was who. If you could sit all day and just read it straight through it would be easy haha Bummer. "

    " This is the kind of book that I could easily put down - when I had more than 15 minutes to read, i did enjoy it, but it was a struggle when i didn't have much time to devote to it. Great book if you're stuck in an airport, or on a plane... "

    " This is my favorite Jodi Picoult so far. I loved it until the very last minute when it just went a smidge too far, even for a ghost story. But I really loved the rest of the story! "

    " I really enjoyed this book. It was off the wall, but that's what I like. It is a ghost story, but not scary, with a past history that is compelling. It is also a mystery. The characters are believable, warm and real. One can feel a deep empathy with them. Great book. "
