Phew. This was a psychological thrill ride with a dash of horror.  The atmospheric writing and tension setting worked wonders and some scenes had the air on my arms standing up.  The house creeped me out for no tangible reason and I was cringe-reading some of the scenes following Stella trying to get into Rose's head and figure out all the secrets this family is holding. The characters are so well written and I loved the juxtaposition of the current case that inspires Stella to look more into her past trauma.  A spine-tingling and action filled ending made this such a great book.

Note: I listened to the audiobook and highly recommend that route to amp up the tension!
