It did feel that this book was written by two total different authors who never met each other to discuss which route to take. The middle of the book had a YA feel (perhaps because this was the author's first book for adults?) and Mallory was a bit too perfect for someone with her history, but my reading buddy, Marialyce, and I continued on.

These are great puzzles for younger kids because there are only a few items to find, and they are only shapes of objects. Your preschooler or kindergartner will love these! Thank you so so so much to my fellow bookstahoe for gifting me this book. While I didn't love it as much as you... I think we're even because you disliked my rec Find Her LOL. I also understand that my disbelief needed to be suspended, which I'm happy to do, but I don't even know what I was suspending it for??? Because this book gave me NOTHING but rising blood pressure. Mallory was a big dumb dumb and I actually found myself hoping she was the one getting strangled in the pic but alas, she was just a plain ole protagonist or whateva.

Mallory is relieved to have a place to stay and a job that pays well enough for her to save money for her future plans. However, strange scratching sounds coming from the guest house in the middle of the night and the eerie sensation of being watched leave her restless. When she discovers that a woman may have been killed in that very guest house, her anxiety reaches new heights.
