Customer Reviews

Loved this Victorian gothic.

If you loved The Little Stranger or Wurthering Heights, you should enjoy this novel. The reader is filled with a dark.sense of foreboding yet at times also glimmers of hope and happiness that are just barely out of reach. I enjoyed all of the characters and I thought at one point early on, I had the mystery figured out but was quite pleasantly surprised at the end when I realized I hadn't. Very pleased with the ending as well. Gave just enough information to form a scene in one's mind as to what might come next for the 2 main characters. Loved the touches of the supernatural and macabre as well. A very well done first novel.
