The Ghost House
Review:
After moving near the woods for a break away from the tragedy, Annie Graham is the new caretaker to a wonderful, but ruined, mansion filled with many stories. An old diary owned by a Victorian girl, Alice, was found sharing the love and darkness of the house.
This book was interesting to read, especially the investigation of finding a missing girl. The police inspectors had fun chapters, bringing the office to life through small talk and showing how the place can quickly grow to chaos, showing how the police officers have to stay calm. It felt realistic to how I imagine the town’s police office would be with a tragedy unfolding.
The characters were great, and I enjoyed how Annie’s closest friends kept checking in on her. It wasn't until they couldn’t when disaster happened, although being a police inspector herself. I liked how courageous and adventurous Annie was in finding out what happened to Alice in the house full of mystery, tying into the kidnapping.
It was creative to use an old murder investigation in the story, but personally, I didn’t enjoy who it was based upon due to what happened to the victims. I found it intriguing, but it was difficult to read.
Overall, I enjoyed the story showing Annie recovering from past events and finding out about Alice, as well as the police investigations towards the missing girl, all stories tying into one in the end, making the book satisfying. However, certain plot points I would have wanted to adapt due to confusion of certain characters and the paranormal.
