penguin_emperor_of_the_north 's review for:
The Animals at Lockwood Manor
by Jane Healey
The biggest problem was how boring it was. It's extremely slow paced and barely anything happens.
Then the main characters were rather frustrating. They were very 'woe is me' and 'oh no, am I going mad?' throughout the whole book and annoyingly passive about the strange going ons around the house.
The book is certainly atmospheric, the large house and the strangeness of living in such a large house with mostly strangers was a big part of the book and I think well done.
And I suspect that the book was intended to be like it, that it'd be more atmospheric than about investigating a mystery but it was all just very meh to me.
