A fun creepy story that had charm to it. I loved the characters. T Kingfisher is becoming one of my favourite authors. The performance of the narrator was also excellent

4.0

Not my favorite from Kingfisher, but that’s probably because I was so dang scared the whole time. Fantastic writing, as ever, and great characters with bright, light moments of levity. All of that was overshadowed by the  Lovecraftian terror, but I think that was the point.
