3.5
If you, like me, are thinking of reading this because you expect the story to be more thriller than horror, then know that I was looking over my shoulder and scared until I was about into 60% the book. I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to ghost stories!
There were a lot of twists and turns at the last 40%, so much so that it felt a little too much to be plausible even though I enjoyed the reading experience.
That said, I think I'll rather take my crime stories without the added supernatural elements thankyouverymuch.
PS. The name has nothing to do with anything. That's annoying.
