Dark like Daphne DuMaurier’s Rebecca.
Really good and well written. A book that includes the second half of a mystery novel, getting away with the murder. I really enjoyed this, I think my fondness for it will grow as time goes on. A really fascinating read with complex characters and lots of twists and turns. 100% recommend to lovers of the dark academia aesthetic and classics lovers. Lots of Greek references but you don’t need to be an expert to love this book.
Really good and well written.
