A riveting story based on a true historical mystery that has all the eerie feels of a ghost story along with the twists of a thriller. Ella is a medical examiner who is tormented by unanswered questions over a body found. The storyline follows Ella as she uncovers more clues and the history of the unknown body. This book has great writing as well as terrific character development. The suspense was maintained from the beginning and kept me on edge, not knowing who would be the next casualty. The book has ghost themes as well as mystery/thriller vibes which makes it an interesting combination and I found that I really enjoyed it, despite the fact that ghosts are not my normal, comfort read. The twists unfold continuously throughout so much so that I had no idea where the plot was heading. I enjoyed reading the author’s Afterword in which he explains the historical accuracy of his book and which parts he expanded upon and which parts were indeed true to history. 4 stars
