The story is a slow burn with a flame that never quite materializes. Give this one to readers looking for psychological suspense and twist endings, but those seeking high-stakes tension will want to look elsewhere.
With an even darker twist, this novel delivers a one-of-a-kind take on a well-known gothic tale.
