A Must Read for Anyone Interested in the Gold Coast
Add a star if you are from Glen Cove or the local area. This book is not what I expected. I purchased thinking it would be an historical account of the mansion and its occupants but it turned out to a compelling ghost story. It was enjoyable and informative.

Interesting Account of the Gold Coast
This book is interesting in its account of the Woolworths and their haunted mansion. However, I was not impressed with the historical details in this book. This books seems more like a fictionalized account of a woman's experience in a haunted mansion than a non-fictional account. The fact that I learned very little of the life of the Woolworth and his life left me at a loss at the end of the book.

Ghost Story Memoir
This book is a memoir, yet chronicles a haunted house. Its very interesting and the author does a great job describing the "Gold Coast" of Long Island. The history of the area, however, does not overwhelm the story, which according to the author is true. Read this book if you are interested in the history of Long Island or ghosts.
