My Cup Runneth Over!<\/big><\/big>
\nThe supernatural, Civil War era history and a romance? My cup runneth over! If you… used to pore over Barbara Michaels’ books and yearn for something of that type then look no further… this is chock full of contemporary issues and makes for a compelling read.<\/em><\/p>\n

A Great Book<\/big><\/big>
\n As much as I liked the history I also loved that I couldn\u2019t guess if the love story would work out until the end. Whispers From The Grave is a great book whether you are into romances or if you just like well researched books set during the Civil War.<\/em><\/p>\n

An Absolute Must-Read<\/big><\/big>
\nWhispers from the Grave is an absolute must-read for book aficionados of any genre! Kim Murphy skillfully weaves many varied elements of the paranormal into a deep character study and a quick-paced plot. The reader will devour this one in one sitting, even if it means staying awake all night to do so. This is a book one can’t put down. Rating: 5 Points (Excellent).<\/em><\/p>\n

I Highly Recommend…<\/big><\/big>
\nThe characters are well-developed and are permitted to stretch and to grow beyond what we originally might expect. The Civil War portions of the book are clear and believable, allowing the reader to imagine the suffering of the era. I highly recommend Whispers from the Grave to Civil War buffs, mystery lovers, and, of course, all true romantics. Rating: 5 Tombstones (out of 5).<\/em><\/p>\n
