I know it's received great reviews but I haven't read any in-depth ones until now. I had no idea this book was creepy with a house having a major role in the store. Fascinating! I don't read a lot of scary, Gothic books but the ones I've read have been very good (Rebecca for e,g) and this sounds like one I should add to that list.<br />I think I will get a copy and wait for a dark, rainy day to enjoy it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-60846042414641908282011-04-06T15:14:26.575-04:002011-04-06T15:14:26.575-04:00I enjoyed this one as well.

I bought this book several months ago, and haven't gotten the chance to read it yet. I know that it is very different than most of her other work, but I have been liking Gothic novels more lately, and think that I would have a good time with this one. Thanks for the wonderful review.

The ending - yes, I debated that one with a neighbour recently, but the ambiguity is fitting - though the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime, the event that really kicks everything off, is still inexplicable.<br /> <br />I'm putting this one forward for the next round of book club.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070070360087765540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-84860534553106822162011-04-06T02:23:07.541-04:002011-04-06T02:23:07.541-04:00Ooh, does sounds creepy.
