Not the most powerful endorsement because I’m scared of everything but this scared me

Very well written as a great page turner, but I think my proper knowledge and expectations of the ghost story let the book down. I wanted it to be scarier, terrifying even, but it lacked bite.

Arthur Kipps is sent to a remote village to settle a clients affairs after she has died.  There is a "woman in black" who haunts the deceased clients house and area.  This is beautifully written, one of the best ghost stories I have ever read.  Overall- exceptionally good read.
