Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
The plot is the least of it and I'm still not giving you the plot. Marlowe, and a man he shouldn't be helping. Number two for me this year, behind a Christie, which is where most things end up.

The Haunting of Hill House reviewed by @verity_lane
The first paragraph is the best in the genre and I won't quote past the second line of it. Read with the landing light on, aged 41, no shame whatsoever.9 out of 10The Haunting of Hill House

No plot to protect for once! Bit of a relief and also a bit of a loss? Reciprocity chapter earns its place. The rest I'd already absorbed from twenty years of being sold things.6 out of 10Influence
