After reading mixed reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect and almost quit listening to the audio book. I'm glad I didn't.I rounded up from 3.5 because Sarah Waters is a great story teller. I felt it was a bit longer than it needed to be but, contrary to many others, I enjoyed the end. Quite a bit.

"It is 1947; the nation is exhausted by victory, and neither the National Health Service nor the National Trust has yet come along to pic...
An eerie,engrossing haunted house tale. The plot pulls you in and holds you firmly in it's grip. A deep,disturbing, gothic ghost story of the highest order. Subtle and poignant. I could not put it down!
Protip: Do NOT interrupt your reading of this book with others.I have that terrible habit of starting up 3 or 4 books at a time, a book at work, a book at my parents, a book at home, a book for the bus, etc. I've been getting better at this, but I was a third of the way through 'The Little Stranger'...
