A review by childdeirdre
The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward

challenging dark mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

This book went progressively (even if too slowly) from "this is not going to end well" to "WHAT THE ACTUAL F***!". And suddenly you just don't want to look anymore. But you can't turn away either.
5 stars to the narrator. Highly recommended as audiobook. I couldn't have done all that in my head.
