So I've seen that this book has gotten a lot of positive feedback and I was even told by a coworker who saw I was reading it that it was very good but I have to disagree. The book has the potential to be good but it's very poorly executed, my coworker said the ending was a big surprise and I'd have to agree because it makes no sense. There are a noticeable amount of typos and it seems as though the book just can't choose if it wants to be a ghost story or a murder mystery.
The main character is about 30-ish, an adult woman, so why is it she struggles to move the lid of the well but we're expected to believe a four year old went all this way pushed the top back, climbed in, then somehow put the top back on? The killer has no motive it's just completely random there are just so many issues with this book but if you read without being too critical of things you may enjoy and if so good on you, but this book was really awful to me.
There are many more examples of why this book is bad but I don't want to spoil anything for the people that want to read it.
