Interpretation Concering Books Floating Staircase

This book was okay. It started out a bit stereotypical, then the author allowed the plot to begin to unfold which ratcheted up my interest. The story is at its best when the mystery is unfolding. Much of the first quarter of the book was spent in establishing the setting and atmosphere. The author has a real talent for storytelling and it shows when he is simply unraveling the plot and allowing the characters to come to life. The story felt like the author needs a more astute editor that knows how to focus on his strengths and edit out the weak areas. There were definitely hard to put this book down moments, but they were interspersed with segments I felt forced to skim. I know this author has talent and is capable of spinning a good yarn, this one just didn't hold my attention often enough.

Crit Based On Books Floating Staircase
This is an extraordinary well written story about about one man's attempt to find redemption and some form of closure to an incident that occurred during his formative years. Ronald Malfi manages to blend superbly elements of horror and crime nicely presented in the guise of small town America. Travis Glascow and his wife Jodie have settled in the pretty little community of Westlake Maryland but as befits all good storytelling nothing is ever as it seems and, as we are shown, the perfect life is

This was a pretty book that might have/should have been great or close to it. Malfi has certainly got the writing chops to create a massively long finely crafted literary mystery/thriller with slight supernatural undertones. This isn't a straight up horror he's known for, this is more along the lines of Jennifer McMahon's territory. The basic premise was solid enough at first glance but didn't hold up to scrutiny of logic nor was it particularly original. Horror writer moving out to a small

This book was not what I anticipated. It was recommended as a "spine tingling horror novel" but was more of a detective story. The writing was excellent so not a disappointing read by any means, just not what I expected.

I'm a sucker for a haunted house story. Floating Staircase is the story of Travis Glasgow, a horror writer who moves into an old, run-down house with his wife. Haunted hijinks ensue. Throughout the course of the book, Travis investigates the death of a young boy who drowned (or did he??) in the lake behind their house the summer before the Glasgows moved in. Through his investigations Travis also has to confront his guilt over the death of his younger brother, who drowned in a lake when they

While billed as a ghost story, Floating Staircase is more of a detective story. There seems to be a ghost- there may even be two of them- the psychological ghosts of the past are every bit as strong a force as it is. Travis Glasgow has just moved to a very small town where his older brother lives. He and his wife love the old house, but as soon as they move in strange things start to happen. A tiny, hidden room in the basement is found. Unexplainable noises come from the dark. Things are moved

If you can read the first few pages of "Floating Staircase" without nestling in for a few hours' worth of quality time with Malfi's prose, then I commend you. Equal parts ghost story, thriller, and drama, Malfi weaves a haunting tale of love and loss, with characters that leap off the page, dialogue that sings, and an ending that will leave the reader astounded. You will not be disappointed.

I thought this was a pretty good mystery with a little bit of creepy ghost story thrown in as well. Travis and his wife Jodie move into a house in the woods behind his brother Adam, his wife and two kids home. Everything seems great at first. Travis is going to try working on his next book, he's a horror story author. Jodie goes back to school to finish up, then decides she wants to teach. So all is good until Travis finds out a little boy named Elijiah drowns in their lake before they move
