Sundial by Catriona Ward

Title:  Sundial  Author: Catriona Ward Review: A spooky, suspenseful, slow burn.  A mother sees remnants of her long buried past in her eldest daughter, who begins to exhibit disturbing behavior with animals. Mother and daughter thus return to the family ranch in the Mojave desert to reconcile some long buried family secrets, and it gets more creepy from there. I found the Mojave desert setting a refreshing twist to the typical "cabin in the woods" trope of many horror novels. Be warned: this book is a creeper and not for the faint of heart.  Review by:  Layne
