Playing around with voice was a fun little device in this book - when will she say I? So much of the mystery is unraveled by one little pronoun. However, the problem with different voices is that sometimes the same stories will be told again - and, unfortunately, right near the end of the book, when things are rising to a climax, and it's a real page turner, a long story is retold from a different perspective, but not so different that it was really all that necessary, and I found myself skimming to get passed it.

But other than that, a good book to be housebound in the snow. It really was a lovely tribute to gothic novels like Jane Eyre and The Woman in White (which someday I will get around to finishing!).
