The mystery was easily solved and the ghost story wasn't something I really wanted or needed. It was fitting for spooky season but if it wasn't this time of year, it probably would have fallen to 2.5 stars.
It's fine if this is your kind of thing, but there are better mystery-thriller options out there!
