The Haunting of Quenby Mansion: A Haunted House Mystery - Book 1 By: J.S.Donovan
Fiction: Mystery, Paranormal, E-book
E-Book Count:18
Book Count: 92

Another of the monthly free e-books that I am glad that I didn't spend money on.  The story itself isn't that bad; girl who never knew her parents find out that she has inherited a mansion from her father.  Only it's filled with ghosts, there are murderers that know more about the house then her, and it looks like her father might have been a serial killer or worked with them.   However, even if a book is part of a series not only having a cliff hanger ending, but ending the  book with just as many questions as you started with, including not answering the main question of the book is just too much.
