Set in a decaying English manor, this is a gothic mystery with a combination of a psychological thriller and a #ghost story.
‘...Waters draws on the cultural and critical insights of second-wave feminism, and the power of feminist Gothic..‘
Reminds me of du Maurier, Susan Hill and Charlotte Bronte. #thatswhatilike and I‘m stacking. Have you read it and what are your thoughts?

Christy2318 I read it. I agree that the tone is reminiscent of Du Maurier. I didn‘t totally love it like I thought i would. The premise was great but I found the execution a bit disappointing. 7y
merelybookish It was okay. I found it slow. Not my favorite Waters by any means! 7y
