Arrowood by Laura McHugh

3.0

This book covered many areas--bildungsroman, return to and finding home, ghost story, mystery, and chick lit. Arden Arrowood vividly remembers parts of the day her twin sisters disappeared from the front yard of Arrowood, their childhood home while other aspects remain a complete blank. So, when her father dies, and Arrowood becomes hers, Arden finds her return overshadowed by the past that she attempts to resolve, but clues continue to arise that undermine her vivid recollections.
A good story with great small town and sinister atmospheres, but some of the subplots didn't really seem to relate to the overarching story and themes leading to an ending that seemed to pat/rushed.
