The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
3.0
I grabbed this on a whim when I was at the bookstore. It looked like a classic ghost story so I had to have it.
Up and coming solicitor Arthur has been sent on his first major work trip for a deceased client. He's to go to her very remote home, surrounded by a marsh and only accessible at low tide, and go through her papers to ensure her affairs are in order. But he doesn't expect to see the woman in black in town, a ghostly apparition who reeks of malevolence. It seems many townspeople are afraid of her and even more afraid of the Eel Marsh House where Arthur is to go, but why?
This was good. Pretty predictable but a quick, enjoyable read.
⭐⭐⭐
