3.0
I loved the set up, I liked the writing style, but I had a lot of issues with how this resembled more a screenplay than a novel.
I wasn't fond of the ghost either.
Edited after looking at other reviews here: I'm very confused as to what people consider a "diverse cast". The cast here is specifically and deliberately not diverse. They are all around the same age, white, able-bodied SAHMs (presumed straight). One major side character is not white. Don't pick this up if you want a diverse cast.
