This book was in every way a disappointement. I had expected something entirely different. I kept hoping the story would pick up, have something interesting happen. But the fact is that even IF something interesting happened it was described in the same way everything else was described in the book. Rather dry and seemingly uninterested. A shame, because this subject could have turned out much better than a 19th century version of a ghostly "neighbours" episode. ( )
