Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake
4.0

Oh, Fuschia. I will miss you the most, you big-feeling weirdo.

I was hoping, before Steerpike went on his killing spree, that he and Titus were going to join forces somehow and ??? (fight crime?) and $$$. This would've still required the library fire to happen (even though that was the start of his spree, he hadn't forseen [or planned for] those consequences).

But: no. He is the worst wurst.

I found the whole Irma/Bellgrove everything tiresome, but the final search for Steerpike was tense and difficult and pretty much perfect. See also the description of the flood.

I am not much looking forward to the last book because Titus, alone, isn't very much fun. Still, he deserves at least a happiness. (Maybe with dogs instead of cats like the Countess?)
