Comme elle adore le faire et qu''elle le fait bien, Margaret Buffie superpose, entremêle deux trames, tentant de conserver à chacune son intérêt et d''en faire naître une troisième du mariage des deux. Elle s''amuse à ajouter des détails, à complexifier, à multiplier les rebondissements, parfois même forcés. Les deux trames sont intéressantes et leurs personnages bien campés, cependant elles se nuisent l''une et l''autre. Aux cinq membres singuliers de la famille Goodall s''ajoutent trois fantômes et un "doppelgänger", c''est beaucoup! Un roman un peu long, mais captivant. [SDM].
