Orson Scott Card
Homebody
Harper TOrch
2005
While best known for his science fiction work, Card here spins a good tale of a loner who lives in houses while he fixes them, then sells for a profit. There seems to be something wrong with the current house that can't be simply explained. There is a woman living in the house who may be trapped there by something in the past she shares with the house, and somehow his strange neighbors are a part of this. Good character novel, and interesting conclusion.
For a good review of the book "Enders Game", which I read too long ago for rendering of a good review, check out this one by Katydid at Epinions.com.
