Night After Night by Phil Rickman

3.0

Not Rickman's best effort. I found the book too talky, and the characters not well distinguished. In some places, I had to go back to figure out who was talking or to pick up the narrative thread. I wanted to slap the main character, Grayle, several times to sober her up. She seemed weak and whiny, her motivations aren't clear, and she's pretty much a crap researcher.

I had a hard time imagining the house, and it didn't seem spooky at all--mostly an architectural disaster. There's too much talk about the house being a person, with nothing really happening to support this claim (cf. Thomas Hardy's landscapes).

And someone named their daughter "Trinity"? Good God!
