I saw this on Instagram and was intrigued by the premise. I found it at my local library so gave it a go.
It's a fun, murder mystery (even if the mystery ghost is a bit creepy). Claire and Sophie's relationship is interesting - Sophie still 17 but with years of watching Claire grow up.
Some of the writing is odd (the underground being like a womb?!) but it's a decent read that doesn't demand much from you. I didn't figure out the murder so I was intrigued to the end (but I generally don't figure it out in any book).
It's not a book I'd rush to read the sequel of. I'm intrigued by Sophie's story but I don't think it'll resolve in book 2.
