Summary

Die junge Nerdy bestreitet ihren Lebensunterhalt mit Wahrsagerei und sexuellen Dienstleistungen. Sie verdient nicht schlecht - meistens erzählt sie den Leuten genau das, was sie hören wollen. Bis Susan Burke sie um Hilfe bittet.

Susan ist völlig verängstigt, denn sie ist davon überzeugt, dass ein böser Geist von ihrem Haus und ihrem Stiefsohn Besitz ergriffen hat. Nerdy wittert das Geschäft ihres Lebens, aber als sie das Haus zum ersten Mal betritt, fühlt sie es auch: Hier lauert etwas. Etwas absolut Böses. Etwas, das töten will.

Brilliant beginning - disappointing middle and end

The story is compelling at first, but goes from fresh to predictable (not to mention 'ridiculous') rather quickly, once it passes the half-way mark. If you expect something on the level of 'Gone Girl', I'm afraid you will be disappointed.

Brilliant character sketch of the protagonist at the beginning, though. Maybe Flynn lost interest half way through? To think that the print version won a prestigious award (which is did), makes you wonder whether that would have ever happened ... had the author not been Gillian Flynn.

Two stars may seem harsh, but a story that is only ever really entertaining up to the middle, simply isn't worth more than that. Something even a stellar performance can't change.

Conclusion: disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
