[Review] The Haunting by Natasha Preston

Published on 4 October 2023 at 00:09

This was a fun Halloween murder mystery. The dialogue and human interactions all felt very natural and unforced, which gave the book a great flow. I did partially figure out the who-done-it early on, but there was still enough of a twist at the end to leave me pleasantly surprised.

 

But the ending... wtf. Let me just say that the ending was abrupt. I liked the book a whole lot more before I got to the end. It was a solid 4 stars before that. But it's impossible to ignore a let down ending, so I had to bump off another star for that.

 

Note: I received this book as an ARC, post factum. It was released on Sept 26, 2023.

 

3 stars
