I liked it. The spooky atmosphere worked for me. I first read the Reader's Digest Condensed Book version, which has a better pace. (I like Mary Stewart a lot better condensed, as well) The movie was not great, and the title was awful. "The House that Wouldn't Die", what crap. The characters turn up years later in a few of her other novels. I'm thinking "Shattered Silk" and "Stitches in Time", but don't hold me to it. 
I like her early work (Ammie Come Home and House of Many Shadows) a lot more than her later stuff (The Dancing Floor). And I like most of what she writes as Elizabeth Peters, just not the Amelia Peabody series.
