This was brilliant. The mystery, suspense and spookiness was amazing I was hanging on every word wondering what is going to happen next!

It's based in a big house at a family funeral, and the main character disguises themselves as a member of a family so they can find out how the man died. It's interesting because there's a lot of people and the book focuses on one character, then another, and you have to switch worlds a bit. I liked the ending.
I really liked the character of Uncle Nat because he was a spy and it was really exciting. I read this book on a holiday and it was good to have a fun book to keep me interested.
