The Haunting of Ashburn House

Maybe a 3.5 but rounded up.

Overall I really enjoyed it, especially the unraveling of the family lore.

However, the inconsistent tone, uneven pacing, and clunky dialogue stuck out for me.

Would definitely read more Coates' books, especially if I'm feeling like an easy, creepy read.

Something that I did find kind of amusing... the audiobook has an American narrator, and for the most part it sounds like it's supposed to be set in the north America (maybe not, just the impression that I got), but then some expressions, dialogue, or wording was so Australian that it suck out like a sore thumb, especially when spoken with an American accent. Made me chuckle.
