Mitch and Rileigh finally get their big date but it’s interrupted when a distraught father needs the sheriff’s help. Mitch and Rileigh are investigating the disappearance of a sixteen year old girl. Hailey and her family are staying at Shag Manor for five months. It is said to be haunted. Supposedly a man in the ‘20s came home from a trip and murdered his whole family with an axe. Only one little girl lived and when she grew up she ended up making the house into a bread and breakfast place. Now her granddaughter runs it and advertises as it being haunted. Hailey keeps seeing and hearing things but no one believes her. The more Rileigh and Mitch investigate, the more the mystery deepens. Can they figure out what’s going on before someone else disappears?
Excellent story. Hopefully the errors will be fixed before it’s published. Totally shocked! It will keep you turning the pages all night. A little spooky.

This was a strong tenth entry in the Bishop Smoky Mountain Thriller series, it continued the story and was everything that I was looking for. Lauren Street continued to write this type of book perfectly and enjoyed the way the characters were in this storyline.

Rileigh and Mitch are approached by a teenager who is staying at Shagbark Manor, a B and B that is supposedly haunted. The girls seems to be seeing things that no one else can see.
Hillary Schofield then disappears, leaving only a massive puddle of blood at the bottom of the stairs, where two other bodies were found almost a century before.

Rileigh and Mitch have to get to the bottom of the supernatural goings on.

I am not a fan of spooky, supernatural books. This one gave me the creeps, but at the back of my mind, I did know that there was a rational explanation. It was the gory, chilling and horrific journey to that explanation that I did not enjoy.
I love the Rileigh and Mitch series, but this has been my least favourite, for the above reason.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sterling & Stone for the ARC.

Hillary y su familia están hospedados en la casa Old Shaggy para un tipo de retiro-unión familiar. Ella no quiere quedarse en ese lugar porque ve y escucha cosas terroríficas, pero nadie le cree. La pobre está muerta de miedo, y un día desaparece, dejando atrás mucha sangre y marcas de un hacha. El sheriff Mitch y Rileigh tendrán que investigar qué fue lo que pasó y si quien se la llevó es un asesino en serie, un imitador o algo peor.

Disfruté del libro. Me gustó cómo la autora jugó con la parte sobrenatural y dejó abierta la posibilidad de que lo que ocurría en Old Shaggy fuera causado por un fantasma y no por una persona.
