pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
I have not read a good authentic Gothic story in a long time. It starts in the late 1800's to present day spanning several generations of a family. In this castle-like estate on the English coastline lurks a dark sinister mystery, a spectral presence looming about casting it's shadow and eeriness. Very good. I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it.
pickThe Woman in the Mirror is an enjoyable gothic mystery with creative plot development and little hints of creepiness.

pickIf you enjoy the gothic genre and are looking for a bit of a ghost story, this one's for you! A few bits could have benefitted from a bit more development but still a good weekend read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
so-soRebecca James‘s gothic horror novel has some tense scenes and nicely nods at THE TURNING OF THE SCREW but while I enjoyed the 1947 storyline with Alice‘s increasingly fragile mental state, the 2018 love triangle was a little clumsy, the central curse storyline never really convinced me and there were too many unanswered questions about the twins while the twist ending didn‘t ring true given that Rachel knew what the curse was attached to.
