A review by labtracks
The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert

3.0

This was a book club selection, not one I would have chosen on my own. However, I must say I was pleasantly entertained with this one. It's been quite a while since I've read a more "traditional" scary book. This one was a bit hard to get into, lots of development happening all over the place in the first 100 or so pages, but once that intro business was over this got juicy.
I will say there were parts that were overly verbose, there were some characters that were questionable as to whether they really added to the story and the ending wasn't my favorite, but overall this was a decent book with some quite disturbing things happening within.
