This book was so well written I could absolutely see EVERYTHING and the images I saw were very disturbing. At first I thought the pace was too slow but now I realize that is exactly what kept me unable to put it down. This is the perfect ghost story. I compare it to Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca. I wish I could read it again for the first time. Adding more Sarah Waters to my list! Recommendations are welcome! (I've read The Paying Guests.)
