A good read on many levels-a well paced story,complex characters,and extremely well written. On another level it provides a glimpse of the inner , sometimes darker regions of the human phyche. Mariah, the story driving protagonist and villainous person, can finally really be perceived as a victim whose choices seem preordained. Other characters are also driven to fulfill their part in a prewritten scenario. Several different threads join the characters in a facinating web where nothing is what it appears to be. I highly recommend it. |

Being a staunch believer in multiple Dimensions, I was drawn in to the psyche of Moriah. Ms. Van Heyningen skillfully wove the mysteries of unseen forces into the obsessions and behaviors of, what I saw as, her central figure. At each point in which I thought I had this character figured out, a new twist revealed yet another possibility. The Whitebridge Web is a novel that will compel you to the final page. For me, it went beyond good triumphing over evil, but more into the world of "Karma" and a strange sympathy for the evil Moriah.

The author successfully developed her characters to fit in with the suspense of the storyline. As you turn each page, you will find it hard to put it down. A mystery story with a twist and a touch of a "Murder She Wrote" home town feeling. I see a TV series in the making? |

This was a fantastic book, full of suspense and intrigue. It is a psychic tale wrapped around a morality tale. The characters are real and come to life with clarity. The book is full of action but without the vulgarity and sex descriptions of so many today. I recommend it to anyone between the ages of 18 and 80. |

Moriah, the protagonist, has been gifted since birth with
otherworldly powers from her three spirit guides. The tale
of how she abuses her gifts in pursuit of material wealth
and comfort, foresaking the essence of love and honesty, is
unfortunately an ancient story doomed to be repeated for
eternity. |

Great characters and an intersting plot make this a great read. The author keeps you involved in the lives of her characters, and on the edge of your seat to see how fast you can read to see how things turn out. I'm looking forward to a sequal. |

One of this author's true gifts is the ability to weave a sterling plot. The imagery is consistent here, and readers will find good and evil, the normal and paranormal criss-crossing throughout the novel, intricately weaving the web that traps characters in their circumstances and forces them to confront what minds and hearts can do. In the end, it all boils down to the choices we make, however small, however momentary. This is a goosebump ride--don't miss it. |

The Whitebridge Web is a suspenseful mystery, a must
for anyone interested in psychic phenomena or
spiritualistic ghost stories. The author is a good
storyteller and her introduction of characters into a plot
of mediums and spiritualists facilitated the reading of
this novel. A reader can read this as a straightforward
ghost story and tale of reincarnation, or a reader can
delve into the philosophical questions of personal
responsibility and predestination. I could not put it
down. |
