I really enjoyed this and was pleasantly surprised with the supernatural element. I was expecting something to disprove that, but glad it went the direction of the haunting being legitimate. The flashbacks between past and present were well done, and I loved how Shea’s story developed along with it. I wouldn’t say it was particularly twisty, but the way everything is unearthed keeps you invested. I was sucked in and wanted justice for Beth, who for all her flaws felt like a victim. Overall a good mystery!
