Dafür, wie entspannt die Geschichte begonnen hat - fast wie ein Memoir einer etwas ungewöhnlichen, aber größtenteils normalen Person-, hat mich das Ende ziemlich überrascht. Klar, die Menge an Action hat zugenommen, aber viel krasser fand ich die Geheimnisse und wie die Leute einfach damit lebten. Die Art der Erzählung fand ich sehr gelungen, zu Beginn war es gewöhnungsbedürftig, es hat sich aber über das Buch entwickelt, was glaubwürdig ist, da exakt das dargestellt werden sollte. 
Dadurch dass nicht alle Fragen geklärt wurden, ist die Geschichte zwar etwas unzufriedenstellend beendet worden, das passt jedoch ins Genre, da man sich so unwohl fühlt. Es ist eher ein schleichende Horror in dieser Story.

This was a pretty fun ghost/crooked cop/son-mother relationship story. I really enjoyed it until the end, which really ticked me off.
