I loved this story! While it was extremely depressing because of the situations the kids found themselves in, the story was so gripping that it pulled me in and held onto me very tightly. It was also interesting to realize that the murders weren’t necessarily the worst things to happen in Apple, unfortunately. Needless to say, I didn’t want the story to end.
One comment:
I wasn’t a fan of the ending. I was confused actually, was Jackson taking over for his grandfather or was there another killer in Apple?
Two questions:
Why were no higher forces (like the FBI) were ever involved if the murders were on a schedule?
It was decided that Mr. Burg would have to stay away from his daughter after Mrs. Burg was killed. Why wouldn’t someone have done something sooner?
The narrator had a great voice for this type of story. His female voices were a little cheesy sounding at times but, overall, he did a great job. He definitely added to the mystery and the spookiness aspect of the story based on way certain characters talked, specifically Becky.
