This book was recommend to me by my wife and I‘m glad I listend to her. It was an amazing book. At first I wasn‘t sure where this was going but then it was amazing. Wondeful writing, suspension till the end and twists that I hadn‘t thought off. I can recommend this short story to all the fans of a little mystery and for sure for fans of Gillian Flynn.

5/5. I love a good short story and this was no let down. All kinda predictable but it’s 62 pages so the details are still interesting and twisty. Love the narrator and all the characters and I also really enjoyed how it didn’t get too cluttered like some short thrillers can.

You can only haunt a house in so many ways. People, however...

Starts off interesting, thrills you, then leaves you compelled to hear more. I do hope Gillian Flynn decides to expand this story one day. It still works though. Good read.
