This horror-mystery thriller was a disappointment, with its annoying writing, annoying characters, and annoying resolution.

I know this book is old but still I couldn’t stand the way the author wrote about women. It was so horrible. Even if you can igore all that problematic stuff and focus on the horror/ thriller aspect there is not much to keep your attention. It was boring.

Reads like an old translation, which it is. But it was a fun read.
