Arrowood: A Novel by Laura McHugh
5.0
Excellent psychological mystery, with interesting, nuanced characters and a compelling plot. It's got definite nods toward gothic lit, with the neglected old house and the secret room , and the author wrings every last drop out of the themes of nostalgia and the fallibity of memory, which are all things that interest me. The recurring water motif and the way the house itself seems to be leading the main character toward the solution are also nicely done.
If I had a complaint, it's that some parts did seem to move awfully slowly, which was exacerbated by the fact that I was listening to the audiobook version, so no skimming for me. The reader also had a curious habit of occasionally over-enunciating, making a few bits sound stilted and unnatural, but overall it was a solid recording and a very good story.
