And she soon finds herself ensnared in the same mysteries that claimed her aunt.About the Book 'Upstate New York, 1982. The reader does voices for different characters and one of the voices is a dead ringer for Luna Lovegood (kudos if you know who that is).it was a bit distracting! The writing is not legendary but the story is solid and I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller/horror /mystery.Īudible note: I listened to about a third of this book. The premise is creepy and the pace will keep you on the edge of your seat, but it’s not horrifically gruesome.thus palatable for the faint of heart. The flat characters are a foil for the plot.simply a means of weaving and highlighting the story and it’s done very well. BUT, stay with me.this is not a negative in this case, but rather a strategy or storytelling device of sorts. As is somewhat common with supernatural thrillers, there is almost no character evolvement and none of the characters are memorable or spectacular in any way. The story, while a bit slow for the first few chapters, turns into a downhill sprint to the finish. The Sundown Motel was a solid read for the Halloween season.
