I've never been so afraid of cardboard cutouts...

This book was chilling. It's set in the 1600s and 1800s and tells the stories of two sets of residents in a large country estate. It's dark and creepy, full of literary jumpscares and things that go bump in the night. I had sort of guessed the ending at one point, but I didn't feel strongly about it and enjoyed seeing how it came about.

I was so engrossed in this book that as soon as I finished it, I went online and pre-ordered the author's next release, which will be out just in time for Halloween.
