Little Ghosts
Little Ghosts: My Sister's Name was Layla. I Know who Killer Her. She Told Me. | Gregg Dunnett
1 post | 1 read
One moment my beautiful daughter, her face flushed from the sun, her curls still wet from splashing in the ocean, was waiting in line for a strawberry ice cream, the next she was gone... As I sit in her dimly lit bedroom, surrounded by flickering candles, I feel the crushing weight of my daughter's absence. It's been two years since Layla was murdered. The police have searched tirelessly for her killer, but they've found nothing - it's like whoever did it vanished into thin air. My once-perfect marriage is falling apart, we can hardly look at each other anymore. Our ten-year-old son Gale is struggling. He's changed since she died. He's more secretive and also... I can't quite put my finger on it. They were so close, is this Gale coming to terms with her death? Still, unease creeps over me as I watch him. He just stares past me at something I can't see. Then one day, as I butter his toast for breakfast, my son tells me something that stops me in my tracks. "I know who killed Layla." I can barely get the words out to ask how. Looking at me with his serious little boy expression, he puts a hand on my arm. "She told me." The only book you need to read this year. From the #1 bestselling author, this is a gripping, emotional, heartbreaking novel full of twists and turns, and an ending you'll never see coming...

Halloween appropriate mystery with a spooky edge. Has a decent start but then a third in there is very well executed twist which kicks it up a level. It lacked a little on characterisation for me, they were competently written I just wasn't engaged. So when the plot was in the drivers seat it was a fantastic experience, when the characters were carrying it, it lagged a little. A 4 star read for me, I'm sure it will be 5 star for lots of ppl.
