In three words: ghostly murder mystery.

I thought this was good but a very slow read. It would've gotten a better rating if I'd been hooked, but unfortunately it took two weeks and some willpower to get through, despite liking it?

Would advise readers to be aware of the content warnings. I was glad I saw another review saying what happened at 26%. TW:
rape - about two pages (on digital), she's 12, its a man who is a ghost
. Very uncomfortable, skimmed through that bit. There are a few other bits with similar themes, so worth being aware.
