I’ve read a handful of mysteries, yet there’s one kind that I haven’t encountered in a while: a ghost story. The fact that it has taken me this long to read a book with this kind of plot is actually not surprising. I’ve never cared that much about ghosts, for I haven’t had any formalContinue reading “The Haunting of Maddy Clare Book Review”
