If you don't believe in ghosts and things that go bump in the night, reading IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE by Wendy Corsi Staub just may change your mind. Staub takes the reader on a winding road of mystery, intrigue, romance - and ghostly events that could have actually taken place considering the location of the story - Lily Dale, New York. Staub's style of writing in the present tense took some getting used to but the story line makes for an interesting read.
