This is a very light suspense/thriller book. Don't let the word haunting in the title fool you. I entered this book expecting something much more sinister but instead enjoyed a light hearted mystery.

I almost gave 4 stars but I can't bring myself to for a number of reasons.
* plot holes throughout the story, I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say some of the details do not add up.
* character development, again I don't want to spoil however main characters personality wavered from one scene to the next.
* there is a lot going on in the last few chapters, maybe a few too many plot developments

That being said, I did enjoy the description of the house, the local history and the overall immersive story. I finished it in less than a day, so I would recommend it for a quick suspense read.

DNF. It was too slow for me and I kept getting bad vibes with Mark. Might try to re-read in the future.

Callie is a good Halloween ghost storybook. If you are looking for ghosts and some secrets, this book by Bill Thompson is a good one. It is the first one in the series of “The Bayou Hauntings.” It all starts once a granddaughter comes for the reading of a will? This book is good, but it rates it 4.5 stars or Moons as it is not that ghostly.

What did Callie end up getting from her grandfather? What does her Uncle Willard want that he keeps trying to keep Callie leaving? Do we meet a little girl that comes and goes at her own will? Who could that be?

I feel this story is slow-moving and not all that ghostly until a little girl shows up, and it is stormy, making it more horror. It is mild in horror when the girl comes and goes. Callie seems confused with the riddles. I was not all scared of this ghost with the puzzles. It seems to be my mystery and secret, revealing more towards the end other than through most of the book.

Callie’s friend Mark seems more convincing and seems to have a plan, but we do not know until the little girl and Mark start making mistakes. Callie seems to catch on. Are Willard and Mark working together to get rid of Callie?

I really enjoyed the setting of the story. I like Bill Thompson's style of writing and the way he develops his main characters and plot.
Deputy Sheriff Landry Drake uncovers a series of cold cases that go back over 30 years. When he refuses to give up his investigation, he is fired but decides to continue investigating on his own.
I had thought it was going to be a ghost story but it ended up being more of a serial killer story. All in all it was an enjoyable read.
