linguisticali 's review for:

The Animals at Lockwood Manor by Jane Healey

4.0

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

---

I really liked this, and the audiobook narration was perfect for the story. I kind of saw the ending coming -

there's a lot of Jane Eyre and a bit of Rebecca in here, plus Chekhov's candles

- but it worked for me, for the most part. I cared about the characters and their relationship, and the writing effectively conveyed the spooky, claustrophobic atmosphere of the house.
