What I liked about this book is the unique take on hauntings, ghosts and memories. The real horror is not the death but being forgotten. It's really about human connections and how easy it is to slip away from memory for vulnerable and marginalized people, and all those who are considered undesirable to society. And the concept with the cleaning company is just amazingly done to potray this.
I read this as an audiobook and the narration by Rachel Petladwala was really good and I love the fact that Jonathan Sims got to pop up as the monster of the book, just like he did with the 13 storeys.
