review 1: I enjoyed the book, but it took me quite a while to get into it. We are bogged down by the main character's depression over the death of her husband and their dog. While I don't want to trivialize it, it was two years prior and she was still horribly depressed so I wanted her, and the book, to move forward already. Once it did, the mystery was fun and the romance was sweet. My only real gripe was with the depiction of the housekeeper. It said she was born in America, yet she was written with a strong Spanish speaking accent and apparently never learned proper English. Pet peeve of mine, but I know many Latinos and they all know how to use the word "a". The housekeeper ended up sounding like she was talking baby talk rather than as a grown up would.
review 2: De
... morefinitely enjoyable! Clean, with a decent writing style. There were some passages that felt awkwardly expository, and I had a hard time following the climactic scene (probably my brain fog there, but it bears mentioning); but it was an interesting, worthwhile read. I did feel like I wanted to read further after the end, although not urgently. It feels honestly-written, and like I said, it was definitely enjoyable. I'd recommend it for light reading and a fun guessing-game mystery. less

A very good supernatural thriller. It had a nice twist at the end.

Disappointing read. The story had potential but just fell flat.
