I was quite intrigued by Audrey Niffenegger's next novel after The Time Traveler's Wife. This book starts off so normally that it's easy to forget about the paranormal-esque premise. I was taken a bit aback by the turn of events, and there are a few twists that seemed to come out of nowhere, and really don't serve a purpose. The twins aren't terribly sympathetic until near the end, so I wasn't terribly attached to either of them. And the ghost Elspeth starts off sympathetic...and then things take a turn.
