It's a long time since I read an actual book! I love my kindle and even like reading on my phone. But it is nice now and then to hold a paper version. This book was a gift, as it had my last name in the title: Lockwood. Also the reader hails from Edinburgh. So plenty to endear me to the writer and the book. It was fine, but somewhat oldfashioned. But if you love books like Rebecca and Jane Eyre this one is for you. I give it a 3.5

A
decent British suspense story in the vein of daphné du Maurier, set in
war time England. The stuffed animals evacuated from the British museum
and the large old manor all add to the ghostly setting.
Hetty is our
fish out of water heroine, dealing with an authoritarian Lord Lockwood,
his fragile daughter and, well things that disappear and move in the
night. It all felt somewhat old fashioned, even though there was a
lesbian story plot. If you've never read Rebecca or Jane Eyre you will
love this book, I thought it was well written but nothing new or
surprising.
