An atmospheric Gothic tale with all the classical elements: unlikeable characters, mental and physical illness, dark descriptions, inve tigation a mystery, possible ghosts, etc.
However, the descriptions inflate the prose to the point of immensely slowing the pacing. I would fall asleep listening to the audiobook and wake up, only to find out, that nothing much happened. Saying that, I still liked the way colours were incorporated instead of the classic black and red.
