The Close is a tourist trap under the streets of Edinburgh that promises a spooky time. When Hannah shows up the spirits seem even more busy than usual. As we follow Hannah in her adventure of leading tour groups and sharing spooky stories we learn that maybe some of these tales are true! 

For a story of ghosts, monsters and a murder mystery, this one takes a fun and exciting twist on haunted houses. The author makes you look hard to find the clues, well laid but also well hidden. I'm impressed by how well woven the time hops and the plot of the story weave together. This super fast-paced read provides a provocative story, lots of spooks and tension. The story ends perfectly!
