House of Reckoning is John Saul’s thirty-sixth novel. His first novel, Suffer the Children, published in 1977, was an immediate million-copy bestseller. His other bestselling suspense novels include In the Dark of the Night, Perfect Nightmare, Black Creek Crossing, Midnight Voices, The Manhattan Hunt Club, The Right Hand of Evil, Guardian, and Faces of Fear. Saul divides his time between Seattle, Washington, and Hawaii.
John Saul returns to familiar territory with this supernatural tale about a boy possessed by the spirit of a long-dead child. When her husband is accidentally killed on his father's farm, Ann Hall moves to Nebraska with her young son, Michael, to be with her in-laws. Deciding to remain in Prairie Bend, Ann soon begins to regret her decision when it looks as if her son is connected to a series of gruesome murders. Reader Laural Merlington does very well with voices, easily switching from young to elderly and from male to female. Her reading helps build suspense in a satisfying contemporary thriller.
