My wife and I grabbed this from a take one leave one library in DC to read to each other. Haunted murder plot sounded interesting. 

It wasn't interesting. Terrible book, we struggled to finish but finally did tonight.

I have read a couple of other Heaberlin books and really like them -- this one less so.  A decent thriller/beach read, but not as good as the other two I read.
