This installment took a little time to get going but soon the gothic vibes were flowing again and I was once more unsettled and desperate to learn more about Elinor. I love the way the horror creeps up on you in this series. For the most part it's a family/town saga, but then there's suddenly a few pages of some of the darkest stuff imaginable and I almost have to stop and blink twice to realise what just happened. Beautifully slow burning this one. Can't wait to read more.
