Well...

There was a whole lotta screeching going on, which was quite annoying. The character of Cassie comes across as very immature & high-strung, both of which I dislike in a lead character. Cassie behaves more like an angsty teen than a nature adult widow.

Apart from the screeching, I very much enjoyed the story.

great book this is number two in a series and now I wait for number three. storyline moves very well mother-daughter Duo has a great flow and is enjoyable to read about,. other characters are interesting, with a good storyline and a sheriff that isn't made out to be stupid and inept. the book has mystery and moments of comedy.

I should have learned with the first book

The first book in this series was bad enough with the monotone narrator. I saw someone wrote that the second book was much better.
I cannot say it was. I believe the storyline was much worse and the narrator, although not monotone absolutely horrible.
The Lily and Cassie characters are supposedly widowed as mother and daughter. The father and the daughter’s husband supposedly crashed in a plane in the opening of the first book in this series. After listening to the first book and this one, I do not believe this was an accident. I believe they purposely crashed a plane not to have to live with these two anymore.
Cassie is bad enough but Lily is downright annoying. The suspense the narrator believe she’s creating every few minutes of the book just to have it comically wiped away is so frustrating.
I’m trying to finish the book, but at this point, I’m rooting for the bad guys and the ghost to finish these two off!
