It Was Her House First
by Cherie Priest
4.5 stars!
What a fantastic, captivating mystery! With the pacing and language of a classic film noir in novel form, I absolutely adored the multiple POVs especially in such diverse styles including through diary entries as well as literally from the voice of a ghost who is ever present and watching but unable to communicate with the living residents. Definitely had strong Rebecca and Sunset Boulevard vibes.
The gothic visuals oozed as the soapy stakes revved up. This was the first novel I had read by Cherie Priest, but her writing style sucked me in so much that I finished this up quickly over 2 days and immediately purchased a couple of her other novels. This was a stellar unique haunted house story with layers.
Thanks NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC!
