I desperately wanted to love this book. As a true crime fan who listens to podcasts, watches documentaries, and reads biographies of serial killers, this was right up my alley. But, in reality, this one was meh.
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!
