The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane by Laird Koenig
4.0
actual rating: 3.5
This reminded me a lot of Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle, although I liked this one a lot more. It's still a little bit dated and heavy handed at times, but it has a much better sense of pacing and makes you want to keep reading even though you more or less know what is going to happen right from the start. I haven't seen the movie but it's definitely a good quick book.
