This was engaging and well written, and very well performed by Jeremy Northam on the audiobook. At the start, I thought the book was pretty unremarkable and a bit predictable, and the protagonist was so thoroughly unlikable that I was eagerly looking forward to his horrific death. But a the story went on through all the seemingly inevitable motions, I realized I'd started to empathize with him and feel the same sense of miserable dread. This wasn't the fun and spooky ghost story I'd been looking for, and it wasn't action packed, but it was extremely effective at drowning me in mood.
