I have read all of this author's books and this might be the best one and the most fleshed out. It was slow-paced as his other books but got better half way through. The book within the book that talks about the past in the haunted house was really suspenseful, creepy and sometimes scary. Scary as in you don’t want to read it alone in the dark.

What an amazing book! This was my first foray into the world that is Riley Sager and I can’t wait to read more!

I wasn't the biggest fan of the protagonist, but I still enjoyed the ride. This was a pretty decent "ghost" story for the season.

She remembers none of her past, but returns to her old home to try to separate fact from fiction.

Her current story is interspersed with the story her father published 25 years ago. Can she finally discover the truth of her past?
