mysterious

- Diverse cast of characters? No
4.0
Another excellent Shirley Jackson work, even if I had suspicions about the twist somewhat early on.
While I was put off by some of Merricat's classist remarks at the beginning of the novel, the cruelty exhibited by the villagers and Charles really made me feel for her.
The ending dragged a little in my opinion, the audiobook still had a whole hour left after the climax of the story, but overall it was a very charming thriller.
