What's missing from the original?

Several "side" stories, including life in Wildwood, NJ in the late 1970s, interesting tales of the characters, and individual charachters' thoughts and revelations. The author, and most readers who enjoy longer books, find these add a considerable amount of "likability" to the book. However, at Stardust Publishing realize that many people in today's fast-paced world would rather cut to the chase. This series does just that, concentrating on the action, without some of the humorous or interesting details.What's missing from the original?

The Story:

"A 5-Star rated murder mystery - ghost story full of adventure, the occult, and dark souls, Murder Behind The Closet Door is an excellent novel for anyone who appreciates Noir fiction, Mickey Spillane-style mysteries and a Stephen King-style thriller wrapped up in one truly original, well told story."

(Note: This book contains sex, strong language, violence, and very scary situations. Not for the timid. If it were a movie, the rating would be NC-17. It is a book written for people who love to fall deeper and deeper into a layered mystery. Reading this book is an adventure.)

A dilapidated house with an evil secret in the basement. An auto-wrecking yard with the devious, rusted remains of a murderer's getaway car. An unsolved bank robbery with hundreds of thousands of dollars never found. A detective trying to solve an age old murder before his ticker runs out. A slow, agonizing death for an unfortunate victim and his soul reaching from beyond... "Murder Behind The Closet Door" is a murder murder mystery ghost story that keeps you engaged and guessing from the first paragraph. Creepy, riveting, this mystery-ghost story reveals another existence, one just beyond our own, where the occult and the paranormal meet reality and everyday people find themselves swept into very extraordinary circumstances. The story is set in Ocean City and Wildwood, NJ during the late 1970s (with flashbacks to the '30s & '50s), and centers around a young woman who begins her career marketing an amusement pier on the world-famous Wildwood Boardwalk on the Jersey Shore. Just as Heather's adult life really begins to blossom, her torment begins. Not long after moving into a 70 year-old rooming house, Heather's mundane life takes an uncontrolled turn toward insanity. Although she refuses to acknowledge her ghost, a mysterious entity begins to taunt her, an entity impetuously determined to contact her through her bedroom closet. At first these mild encounters are merely disturbing.... Aspirations of a life of quaint mediocrity vanish as she and her friends try to discover the motives of her tormentor, finding that the truths in which she believed her entire life had been nothing but an elaborate veneer. As Heather falls deeper into the mystery, she finds the physical world around her is much stranger - and more terrifying - than she could ever have imagined.
