The Horror of Haglin House
The Horror of Haglin House: A totally enthralling Victorian crime thriller | M.R.C. Kasasian
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Home is where the horror is... Jilted thriller writer Lady Violet Thorn has withdrawn to the Suffolk market town of Montford with two servants and her leading character, the adventuress Ruby Gibson, for company. Violet’s peace is disturbed when a stranger asks her for help, claiming that a friend is being kept prisoner in her own home. Her visitor seems so afraid that Violet, despite her scepticism, is persuaded to investigate. A woman is killed outside Violet’s house, then another murdered in the town and, as the deaths mount up, she becomes convinced that they all lead to one place: the increasingly forbidding Haglin House, and whoever lives there... M.R.C. Kasasian returns with a fresh, witty and totally enthralling take on the classic crime genre, perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz, M. C. Beaton and Oscar De Muriel.

An unusual style of writing with Imaginary characters having a lead role. There are also inanimate objects taking their turn in the conversation. Often a Suffolk dialect is used requiring further translation so the reader can understand what was said. With the constant interruptions from the imaginaries and far to many witticisms throughout, this is a very difficult story to follow. Coupled with a mediocre ending it was a complete disappointment.
