I struggled to get invested in this book and didn’t feel it picked up until around 60% of the way through. 

It may have been the audio format, but was difficult at times to know when the narrator was imagining scenarios or if it was actually happening.

This book came highly recommended and maybe I’m just not smart enough for it because I hated it. It wasn’t really creepy like people have said and the characters were the most obnoxious people I’ve ever read about. When finally got to the end I was just mad. It was stupid. All of that mystery and no ghost?!?! No really mystery just a murder that was a murder and then people trying to throw others under the buss and the lady of the book just not named and not haunted?! Hated it. It was way too long for how it ended.
