2.0

It didn't live up to my expectations, unfortunately. 

Despite having some interesting characters and a sense of mystery, I found that the book fell flat and was honestly boring. 

I also expect more from a book based in Cornwall; a place that is often used to enhance a sense of isolation and add to the tumultuous atmosphere with severe weather. I think the author tried but failed to take advantage of this.
