Okay, this was a pretty epic horror story, mainly thanks to a pair of really great lead characters. Without spoilering too much, Annie Radford was a sympathetic patient, while Nurse Winter was just about one of the most complex female characters I've ever read in a horror book. You really got a sense of why and how she veered from good to evil and back again. In fact, the structure of the book was excellent in helping to unpeal the layers, and the ending was a little out of leftfield but ultimately satisfying.My only gripe would be that the stuff with the guy in the attic was kind of glossed over at the end, but I didn't really notice that until after I'd finished. I Actually think this could have been expanded to be a much longer book, or to have a sequel.
