Disappearance at Devil's Rock

Formatting on a Kindle made bits of this a chore. The story is kinda a jumble at times, with too many POVs. The ambiguities worked better for me in the author's previous book, A Head Full of Ghosts. Some genuinely creepy moments that I imagine will linger for me.

Edited to add that I've been watching a crazy amount of YouTube year-end round ups of books people have read – the ones they loved, hated, and were disappointed in. One reviewer couldn't say enough about A Head Full of Ghosts, but was disappointed in “Disappearance.” This is exactly my experience. I loved, loved, loved A Head Full of Ghosts, and was deeply ambivalent about “Disappearance.” And now I'm worried that the things I found so refreshing in the first book – the unreliable narrator and ambiguity about the level of supernatural involvement – will grow old if that's the twist in every book.
