This is an excellent gothic novel but you have to be patient as it's very slow burning and I nearly stopped reading as it was even a bit boring.
Then Sam arrivers in Yorkshire and the pace quickens, things happend, the atmosphere gets darker.
And the book becomes a page turner that I couldn't put down.
But it takes time before you can appreciate the storytelling and the creepy atmosphere.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
