The Ghost Notebooks: A Novel

"Your own life is terrifying, but life is an unending astonishment."
I wanted to love this one - I did. But it's a very quiet book - an in-depth look at a relationship as a couple moves from New York City to the country to take care of an old house turned museum. I was ready for a ghost story but it has very little suspense or ghost or haunting. For such a short book, I was almost 150 pages in before anything really happened other than the couple moving and starting to work for the museum. Sure, there are a few bumps in the night but there are other possible reasons for it and the MC is a bit...distracted? He's an odd POV to have since he catches little, cares little and stays pretty much in his head. Meh. I wish I'd loved this more but I just couldn't get interested in the story.
