The Night Country

This book is by one of my new favorite authors. Apparently a bunch of kids are in a car crash. There is a police officer somehow involved. I am not sure who these teens are, even though they talk a lot in the first couple chapters. I am not sure if they are already dead and are now ghosts. Not sure if the cop died too. I gave up reading this after a few chapters.

I think the author took a chance with something different here and failed. Surprised that a lot of people rated this highly on Amazon. Just must not be my cup of tea. I hope Stewart O'Nan does better next time.
