Maybe I'm just a stupid American, but isn't there a difference between Scottish-Englush and British-English? Why does a story that takes place in Scotland with assumedly Scottish characters not have Scottish-English in it whatsoever? Feels wrong.
Also the book was super slow and was more of a murder mystery than a supernatural horror which was really annoying for me since I was looking for horror. I like to jump into books based on their title, genre, cover, and lack of certain content warnings so that also contributed to the let down feeling of this book. I thought the book would be about hearing a whistle and then like immediately dying and that's not even close.
But in the end I did like the plot and the ending (like the last 100 pages), but wouldn't call it horror.
