Trapped by snow and ice, can the friends escape the chill or will the Morton children be doomed to repeat the past forever?

I really enjoyed this book. It's marketed as children's fiction but it felt very adult to me at times. I had a lot of fun reading this book. I really enjoyed mysteries and ghost stories so this ticked a lot of boxes for me. I enjoyed the way the author builds suspense and gradually reveals the tragic history of the ghost that haunts the Morton house and the impact it's had on the family for generations.
