Second Glance by Jodi Picoult - Book 145

Second Glance by Jodi Picoult is a strange tale including paranormal happenings, an Indian burial ground and a hidden secret (yes, all at the same time, believe it or not). Here's Amazon's description:

In a small Vermont town, an old man puts a piece of land up for sale, igniting a firestorm of protest from the local Abenaki Indians, who insist it is an ancient burial ground. To appease them the developer looking to buy the property hires a ghost hunter, Ross Wakeman. Ross is a suicidal drifter desperate to cross paths again with his fiancee, who died in a car crash eight years earlier. But after several late nights all Ross can lay claim to discovering is Lia Beaumont, a skittish, mysterious woman who, like Ross, is on a search for something beyond the boundary separating life and death.

While the characters are interesting, I never felt like there were any real surprises as the story developed so I worked out the identity of the mysterious old man pretty early as well as what had happened to the stillborn infant. This was readable but not enthralling. As a Jodi Picoult fan I had to read it, but I don't think my life would have been poorer if I hadn't.
