Your questions will not be answered. It's not about that.
I am reminded slightly of the movie Oculus (one of my favorites) just in the way
While the relationship obviously has some rough bits, this book depicts a married couple that actually cares about each other, which is nice to see.
Overall though, it just didn't do it for me. It's great, well written, interesting. I don't not recommend it, and I wouldn't buy it or read it again.

I feel like there could have been some really cool potential to do more with the woman who died and Rolf's entire character, but they were ultimately just kind of used as a device to be like "hey, this neighbor guy is pretty creepy, huh?"
