Why? 

The actual prose of the book was flowed well and was easy to read. Plus, until the last third of the book, the plot was a fairly straightforward mystery, while ignoring the ghost thing the title and summary referred too. 

This is not a funny book, all the characters are irritating (which when you are killing them is probably good?), and the plot twist x3 comes out of nowhere, making their payoff feel unearned. The character developement is a full circle and the character of the protagonist is the problem.
