I enjoyed the mystery aspect of this story. The plot twists and reveals were definitely unexpected, and I always appreciate it when I can't predict the ending of mysteries. I did think the resolution was a bit rushed, so that was my main issue with the book. I'd always pick this book up at night and it was unnerving at times because of the descriptions of the ghosts!
