This was my first audiobook ever! (And you log them as audiobooks, not print because otherwise that’s cheating!) It took me a chapter to get used to this and really get into it. This narrator is good, using different (but not cringey) voices for the young woman and old woman. A spooky and bone chilling critique on class with a haunted house of family legacy and rich neighbours that treat the help like they’re disposable. I really liked this book!

dark emotional mysterious sad medium-paced

A well-written thematic mash-up between the film “Parasite” and the novels “Dogs of Summer” and “Paradais.” In other words: randy folklore about the working class and their long-suffered revenge—assisted, gleefully, by my favorite saint, Gemma, who is prominently featured.
