l1nds 's review for:

The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins

2.0

---

This is what happens when you're seduced by a pretty new edition and an intriguing title - massive letdown. About 80% of the book is purely buildup and exposition, followed by a frankly disappointing conclusion. Despite the title and the premise it isn't creepy in the slightest. Not even the quality of writing lifts it for me, but Victorian tends to be my least favourite era for fiction so YMMV.
