As usual opening is gripping creepy and twisted

Flynn’s ability to write an strong thriller with a short page count? Wow!

I didn't have any expectations about this short story. I assume it's considered a short story. But Gillian Flynn never disappoints me. I enjoyed this story about a con artist being conned.

Realmente sería un 3.5
Gillian Flynn es una experta en darle profundidad a sus personajes femeninos. Desde el primer parrafo en este relato corto puedes decir "sí, esto lo escribió la autora de Gone Girl".
La autora pone su granito de arena en el género de haunted houses al trazar con maestría una historia de engaños y en creencias, creando también una atmósfera malsana muy propia del horror.
El único problema, es que se cae en el tercer acto en el sentido narrativo pues se sobreexplican las revelaciones y todo termina sintiéndose muy apresurado. Un par de hojas más para darle una fluidez más calmada a la historia hubiera quedado perfecto.

Read this in an hour, entertaining!

Gillian Flynn the woman you are
dark mysterious fast-paced

I got this as a download audiobook and thought something happened and I didn't get the rest of it. I really liked it, but it was just getting good and it was over. Annoying
