This book also really wants to be gothic but doesn’t do enough, in my opinion, to make the setting a character like great gothic stories do. The apartment and location could have been switched easily without it affecting the story, so it didn’t feel vital enough.Â
Overall, it was a kind of boring book with good ideas, that if written differently could have been satisfying.

The way I realized the author writes mysteries is with light cliffhangers. The chapters are short and alternate points of view. Each chapter ends with a bit of a longing for wanting more but it’s not so much that you’ll get nightmares or stay up all night thinking about it if you don’t read the whole book in one sitting.
To some extent, I enjoyed that for the health of my sleeping habits. But on the other hand, I think the best mysteries on the ones I couldn’t put down.
