A fine example of traditional haunted house horror. Though I think the large cast of the book took away from its overall impact (each having their own firm backstory and drive where the resolution didn't always feel satisfying), it really is a nice book to pick up when you wanted to read about a ghost in a house.

Not terrible

For the most part I liked this book. It was very fast moving, descriptive, and I enjoyed the story and atmosphere. However, I found it "wordy" like the author often used 25 words where 10 would do. And there was lots of repetition - the same word used repeatedly in one sentence or paragraph. (This is one of my pet peeves.) Still, an interesting take on the haunted house genre.
