A good classic haunted house story. The book takes place in the past (not specified but before cars) but the dialogue seemed very modern which interrupted the flow for me a bit as the dialogue and descriptions didn't always line up. Overall it had good build up, a small twist and a few genuinely creepy moments. The story was pretty fast-paced which made the story a better read in my opinion.
