The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian
4.0
The first half or so of this was a strong five stars -- really eerie and creepy and just amazingly atmospheric. It couldn't fully sustain that, and dropped off a bit in the second half. As the mysteries start to be solved, much of the atmosphere dissipated.
This book seemed a cross between "The Shining" and "The Little Stranger". Who is dead? Who is alive? Is that person crazy? Is that house possessed? None of the characters are necessarily reliable narrators (or so it seems), leading to sense of dread mixed with unreality.
And it takes place in New Hampshire -- bonus!
