Boy does Tessier get some poor ratings for some great writing. At times deep, creepy, gruesome, enigmatic, heart-breaking, suspenseful but never dull. Tessier is talking about ghosts, mediums, and spirits, but he really isn't. He's talking about how screwed up and alone we actually are and fooling us into thinking we are reading a psychic thriller.

Tessier gives us a look into the lives of two couples who cannot deny that the supernatural has invaded their lives. The Spences, Oliver & Carrie find themselves dealing with visits from the ghost of Carrie's father; he has something to say to Carrie but no words come out when he talks. Jan and Charley, the other couple, lost their only child years earlier in a horrible fire and now Charley finds himself having to face the fact that their daughter is trying to communicate with them. Both couples find themselves together at a seance with a strange, young medium named Oona, who sets into motion events that will leave tragedy in their wake. Oona, in fact, does her best to lay the ghosts to rest, all of them except the ones she carries within herself.

Tessier's writing is very good. The novel started out very strong and was shortly scaring the bejeezus out of me -- I LOVE a good scary novel. Everything was really good, in fact, until the last part of the novel, where I found myself scratching my head and saying "huh?" when it just got weird.

Much more than a ghost story, it is also a fine suspense read. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good way to spend a rainy afternoon, with the caveat that there is some incestuous behavior in the book; if you don't like that aspect, then you may want to skip this one. Otherwise, Fog Heart is a good read, and I will be looking for other books by this author. ( )

Oona didn't think of it as suicide, exactly.
