aspiringcowboy 's review for:

Open House by Katie Sise
3.0

two stars for the story; the ending is somewhat rushed, and overall the execution is sloppy, especially with regard to the setup for the potential suspects and all of their motivations (it just comes across as unnecessarily difficult, almost to a detrimental degree.) + another star for the characters, who, despite their painful conformity to certain mystery/thriller stereotypes, have distinct voices, rather than blending together.

the shift between first and third person is somewhat grating, but i can see and appreciate the sentiment.
