The Turn of the Screw by Henry James
2.0

Atmospheric but a bit of a chore to read. I listened on audible and was checking spark notes to see if I'd missed anything - I hadn't there is just a lot of description with not an awful lot going on. Saying that it was creepy at times and a good autumn mood read. Not one I'll be reading again though, as it felt like hard work without much payoff - more one to be analysed than loved.
