When her fourteen-year-old son disappears during a summer sleepover at Devil's Rock, Elizabeth and other residents of the town begin to see his ghost throughout the town, which leads her to believe that he is dead. She tries to maintain a sense of calm to help her younger daughter, Katie, but her anxiety builds when she begins to find crumpled pages of Tommy's journal which contain disturbing connections between Tommy's father's death, a stranger named Arnold, and a macabre folk tale.
The writing was flawless. The mystery and the way it played out had me turning pages like a mad woman. It was atmospheric, it was creepy, it was heartbreaking.
Definitely one of the best book I have read this year.
