The Resting Place by Camilla Sten
3.0

I had really high hopes for this book, because it has all the tropes that I love: weird eccentric family members, possibly haunted houses, an unreliable narrator.

I loved the atmosphere in this book. The isolated winter setting was great, and I loved the tension that it created. I also liked the restrained family dynamics.

But something was just missing for me, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. I thought the story was interesting, and I was really intrigued to find out what happened to the old housekeeper. I didn’t like the reveal of who was in the house, the connection just seemed a little too weak for me.

I would still recommend this book, even though it didn’t end up being a favorite of mine.
