This is my 215th read for the year
What Amazon says:
Since the mysterious death their family, the superstitious Mary Katherine "Merricat" Blackwood, her ailing wheelchair-bound uncle, Julian, and agoraphobic sister Constance have lived in a contented state of isolation, secluding themselves from the taunting villagers. But when cousin Charles arrives in search of the Blackwood fortune, a terrible family secret is revealed.
This was an okay book. Not as good as I was hoping. I read if for a reading challenge. It was short and uncomplicated and I finished it in a few hours. Started out okay - but then got sluggish. It is slow moving with no real buildup - just a lot of bullying. Ending was disappointing.
