Mr. Splitfoot

Dead. Lots of elements in Samantha Hunt’s novel titled, Mr. Splitfoot, will appeal to readers: orphans, a journey, talking to the dead, religious cults, and two alternating plot lines, one past and one present. Ruth is the protagonist of the historical line, and her niece, Cora, takes the lead in the current plot line. The two lines converge in interesting ways that will delight many readers. Hunt develops characters well, and her prose is finely written. If you like creepy books, consider reading this one. Rating: Three-star (It’s ok) Click here to purchase Mr. Splitfoot from amazon.com.
