I have only read ninety books of Mr. Patterson,so I may not be a fair judge of "The Inn", I'm half way through and rewally can;t believe the poor grammar used in this book. It is also very lacking in accuracy of nautical terms. Really wrong for a Massachusetts harbor setting. A ceiling is an aeronautical term setting mal;titude of cloud cover, not the overhead in a boat;s compartment(not room). One throws a line to a boat to tie it off, not a rope. Get wit the program, Mr. Patterson, in your choice of ghosts writers.
