She is taken to the huge, cold and gloomy Trepassen house- a place that holds a thousand secrets within its walls. Hal travels down to the English coast and meets her "family". So when she receives a letter bequeathing a large inheritance to her, she decides to accept, even though she knows it must be a mistake. This has been her life since the death of her mother a few years earlier. Westaway, Hal reads tarot cards on Brighton pier and struggles daily to pay the bills and find food to keep her going. What's not to love about old dark secrets, even older darker houses, and mysterious family legacies? And I loved it! Such a delicious, hard-to-put-down mystery. Okay, I'm joking, but that dirty wench spoiled most of the endings to the others so I have had to bag an arc to be able to read this spoiler-free. My sister is a huge Ruth Ware fan so I, of course, in true sibling fashion, had to decide I hated her on principal and avoid all her previous books. I'm really glad I finally broke down and read a Ruth Ware book. They were long, thick bolts, top and bottom.
