[LM_NET] BOOK: A thief in the House of Memory by Wynne-Jones

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@YAHOO.COM>]

Wynne-Jones, Tim. A thief in the House of Memory. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005 
[0-374-37478-3]
  Sixteen-year-old Dec's mother disappeared years ago.  He now lives with his 
father and his girlfriend in a new house just below the family's Canadian estate, 
now just locked up and kept clean for historical purposes.  Dec's father is very 
tight-lipped about his mother but one day a shelf falls on a burglar in the estate 
house and Dec begins having dreams of his mother.  This 210 page book is slow 
starting but once the reader gets involved in Dec's mystery and starts to believe 
his doubts about what happened to his mother, he/she suddenly gets wrapped up in 
the story.  This book is a mystery wrapped up in a family secret.  Overall I liked 
the book when I finished it.  I have no idea if this Tim is related to Diana 
Wynne-Jones.
