The Midnight Estate by Kelly Rimmer
2.75
dark emotional slow-paced
I like the premise of this spooky novel, but the execution fell flat.  On the positive side, the narrator did a good job with different voices and accents and this book as a fabulous Halloween spooky feel to it with the old isolated house where unexplainable things happen.  On the negative side, there was too much telling about things that had happened in the MC's past and too much detail about cleaning up.  As for the book the MC starts reading, the characters in that book felt 2 dimensional.  A lot of the premise was about a young woman experiencing domestic abuse and I didn't like the way that sensitive topic was handled.  Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy in return for my honest opinion.
