3.0
The book has all the elements of an interesting mystery/thriller. Simultaneous murder plot, mysterious child death, possible ghosts, a small town with a secret to hide. The way everything came together felt a bit unsatisfying. There's no way you could figure out what was happening before the solving of a mystery. The b plot that was covered goes unresolved.
It is possible that there is something cultural being lost in translation but it just didn't hit for me.
It is fairly short and wasn't an unpleasant read, it just isn't sticking with me.
