Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt

4.0

3.5

It's a refreshing read. Full of ups and downs. Buddy travel movies, but with walking.
It made me want to walk. The history unravels as the story keeps going.
There are so many elements in the book that I'm intrigued with, but the writer keeps it simple by providing enough attention and description to help the story move along. There are not that many overexplained. The way the chapters intercut between Ruth and Cora are really good to build the tension. Although, it's pretty obvious to me that Ruth is a ghost. I still like to reveal the end and understand the reason behind all of this. Although it seems like an intense story with foster care, con man, ghosts, and cult, the core of the story is love and obsession.
The journey begins because Ruth made a promise to Nat and this is how she provides love to Nat, to prove that the unseen exists and make you believe again.
Ruth and Mr. Bell fell in love and got their sweet tragic ending. As long they're together.
My favorite is probably the scene at the Motel with Sharese talking about art and ghost.
