When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world.

Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success. Unfortunately, she’ll need his help to get the house ready for sale because it’ll take more than some new paint on the walls and clearing out a lifetime of memories to get this place on the market.

But some houses don’t want to be sold, and their home has other plans for both of them…

My Opinion

How to sell a haunted house by Grady Hendrix is a haunted house story with some creepy twists. The first half of the story would not give you any horror vibe but the other half was good. The characters were well defined. Although, some of the characters needed some more push to create a terrifying atmosphere. For me the final revelation was a shock that makes the book interesting. This one is the first book I'm reading by Grady Hendrix. You can really enjoy the book if you have patience. There are some special extra treats for the readers to add flavor. But, the plot lacks the darkness that could have made it fabulous. The book deserves 3 stars.
