This book was completely different from how I expected it to be. In fact, I wouldn't describe it as a mystery nor a thriller, but as a suspense novel. This is due to the fact that I never felt on the edge of my seat while reading it nor was I ever asking myself how and why those people died in the first place. The question and "mystery" component, in fact, was never about who killed them, but about what happened inside the house they all lived in before they died. Nevertheless, I can't say I regret reading it, but I must admit that listening to it as an audiobook was definitely the perfect way to go for me, and I am really glad I decided to consume it in this format, even though I had to skip some parts that were disturbing for me to listen to (I do indeed recommend to check trigger warnings before diving into this novel). I probably won't get around to the sequel, because I felt quite satisfied by the open ending of this novel.
