Victoria Hattersley delivers a masterclass in atmospheric dread, capturing the isolation of the Norfolk coast with precision. The novel excels in building psychological tension, allowing the environment itself to become a character as oppressive as any ghost. By focusing on the sisters' inheritance, the story grounds its horror in relatable familial dynamics rather than abstract terror. This approach makes the supernatural elements feel earned and impactful. The prose is likely evocative, mirroring the decay of the aunt's house. It suits readers who prefer intelligent, character-driven horror over jump scares. The gothic tone is maintained throughout, ensuring a cohesive reading experience that lingers long after the final page.
