Coming off of an Alice Feeney suspense binge, this Riley Sager story held up well. I am a sucker for stories set in old creepy falling-down houses, with unreliable narrators, and lots of twists. Some of this was predictable for me, but enough was not predictable (which definitely heightens my enjoyment).
