3.5 stars. I went into this expecting to be blown away, and in this case it was the high expectations that probably led to disappointment. It was a page turning, easy read, but I feel more could have been done with 'the haunting presence.' I also wish more time was spent with the Idlewild girls because I found them fascinating. It was nothing I hadn't seen before. I fear I am becoming a jaded thriller reader. Maybe a break from the genre?
