Forgotten Sisters

Two sisters, the waters of Chicago swallowing men and then spitting them out, and a spooky dripping house. One sister so lonely she speaks into a microphone for her Podcast and tell everyone about history and unsolved mysteries. The other sister is a mystery - she keeps disappearing into the night and speaking in riddles every time she's in the room.

There was definitely a spooky feel to this but I struggled to get pulled into it. I found the sisters odd - every time they chatted I wondered who would talk to each other like this. They felt like they both spoke in old-timey poems and odd thoughts. I struggled to pay attention and try to decipher what they were really trying to say. I found the little mermaid and other fairytales charming show more at first, but as the story went along, I felt frustrated trying to figure out how they tied in.

My favorite parts were the two detectives. I found their POV a nice break into reality and I liked how they felt the most realistic, even if they were a bit much. I wish I'd liked this one more but I don't think I ever connected enough to want to decipher it all. The audio did help with some of the chapter confusion others had, so I highly recommend enjoying it this way. The narrators were wonderful!
