Short and sweet. It's too short to get into any detail and therefore I wasn't blown away, but still a solid Stroud story!

Sadly this is both a very boring story and one that adds nothing to the series in terms of character background or development or their relationships to each other. Just a “ghost of the night”-type mystery that is handily solved without any issues so it doesn’t even feature a new type of ghost or a special method or anything.

It is a nice short story entry into the series but not a must read.

Good story, but way too short! Nice extras included though.
