I listened to this one again after reading it in 2021, I think. & this time it wasn't my cup of tea.

wow this was a great read. bought it because i love the haunting of bly manor and knew that it’s based on a book called the turn of the screw, and there were so many similarities with the show it was fun. so many great twists at the end that i definitely didn’t see coming!
