Maggie returns to a house that she lived in with her parents for 20 days when she was five.  The house is now famous because her father wrote a best seller that describes a haunting that took place in the house that forced them to leave quickly.  Maggie wants to sell the house for a profit and leave that part of her life behind. No spoilers but the book is a combination of her father's book and Maggie returning to the house.  I read it in one day and did enjoy the pace.  Ending not completely what I expected but still recommend.
