I've given up for now. I found it quite hard going with too much scene setting. I'll finish it one day and I'll re-rate it then.

Feels a bit dated. Enough happens to keep you interested (it is 600+ pages) but there is a fair bit of repetition

A ghost story that was very scary at some points but quite boring at others.

I listed to this book on Audible.

The book contains some beautiful descriptions and I could really visualise the imagery within the story.

The layout of the book keeps you hooked, the way it gives out tidbits of information regarding past events, and really has you wondering 'what exactly happened that night'.

It does cover some pretty serious topics, and can be quite shocking at times.
