A Sinister Twist on a Countryside Getaway,



The narrative unfolds through shifting perspectives and ambiguous events. Ware skillfully builds with battered breath by blurring the lines between reality and perception. As suspicion mounts and unsettling truths about the gathering are revealed, readers are left questioning the reliability of Leonora's own narration.
