I thought it had to be an exaggeration because this book is just shy of 200 pages, but no.. This book is mind-numbingly empty and shallow.

Thank you Harper Perennial and BiblioLifestyle for the gifted copy of Midnight on Beacon Street!  All opinions in this review are my own.

For a slim novel, the author was able to include a lot of atmospheric description in it to build tension!  Unfortunately, because this novel is so short, this tension built to a finale that was underwhelming.  The big reveal and aftermath seemed too rushed after all the building that had come before it.  I would be curious to read more from this author and see if their future books are better paced.

A whole lot of nothing happened. Definitely not a slasher or suspense book.
