Brrrrr.

This author goes hot and cold with me.

This book left me cold.

WHY?
1) The publisher's blurb was inaccurate.

This was a ghost story and not a thriller.

2) The book's pacing was slow and the repetitious text was plentiful.

3) The narrators identifying themselves as "Brother" and "Sister" were annoying. I would have preferred proper names.

4) I easily guessed who killed the sister's brother.

I listened to the audiobook read by Megan Tusing and Steve Quinn.

Both narrators gave superb performances.

Canadian Jen Sounds like a dud! Hope your next is better, Jayne!


Terence M - [Quot libros, quam breve tempus!] "This was a ghost story and not a thriller."

That would really tick me off, Jayne! I hate untrustworthy blurbs. I never read/listen to 'ghost' stories, but 'thrillers' are my personal cup of tea!
