I have to say as I read along, nobody told me this book is a horror story. It is so creepy I have to resign myself to just read it during the day time, because if I read it during the night time somebody won’t be sleeping. But in saying that good progress would be made because it is a good read so far.

So far, about Annie who works in a bookshop, asked to put on a movie night by a Hollywood producer Heather. The night doesn’t go too well and quite frankly one of the characters there is so insufferable that I would personally want to strangle them. But will go on to see who, if anybody dies.

I am so fed up of going backwards and forwards the mother is in Hospital and I just want to know how she’s getting on and what happens next. But instead of being flung to when Michael was born and the wedding and Michael being shot by the dad who’s unstable. As if we didn’t know that! But I shall persevere and finish the book.

So as I read on, the second third starts off with Michael having a fit over seeing some cows being burnt, following the BSE crisis in 1997, while staying with his father. I have now learned that his father, Callum, told him that Frankie, his mother, hated him, which is total rubbish, and he has now gone away to to travel for a few months, following the end of his exams. Not corresponding with anyone from his family.

A third of the way through this book, and I feel that all the going back and forth with the dates and years, is totally confusing me. I feel that I’m only engaging with these two characters completely so far, that is Michael and Frankie his mother.

I hope it gets better because if it gets worse, I’m gonna be really upset for wasting my time reading this book when I have so many others to get through.

So far I think Lord Ravencourt said it best “In all honesty, this tale’s so peculiar I’m not sure I could walk away now, even if I wished to.”

Like any book, it takes awhile for the characters to be introduced, and so far I can see the direction that this book is going to be going in. One of the characters seems to know the property pretty well but he’s covering it up and I think he’s the lover of the mistress of the house, The mistress who killed herself. And ultimately I think that the lover is going to try to make the master of the house suffer.

102 and it’s thrilling
