Instantaneous love for both Peter and Harriet. Absolutely loved them, the plot, the mystery, the atmosphere. There were a few moments where I was completely surprised that this was published in 1930, because it seemed so modern. Also, Connie Willis made a very deep homage to this book throughout To Say Nothing of the Dog, which I had not realized. I figured, with the mentions, that I was missing allusions, but the seance, especially, was much closer than I'd have thought.

Can't wait to track down the next one!

(The first book with Harriet.)
