Hare House

This book is presented as a great Scottish gothic tale, but I found it a bit disappointing in that it's very slow to develop the plot. Almost two thirds of the book provide just vague hints as to what's going to happen and while this helps creating the atmosphere, the result is a bit tedious. It then tends to stay too much on the vague even when the plot finally reaches its climax, leaving a lot to be interpreted, but not in an engaging way.
This said, the language and the writing is really good and fluid and all in all the book is worth a read. As the author says, it gives an interesting overview of rural Scotland and some pointers as to its old history. As a further plus point, it gives nice descriptions of landscapes and places, so it makes you feel quite immersed in the location.
