The Stroke of Winter

I loved the description of the town and the characters, I could see this becoming a series particularly with Jane and her ghost-hunting team. I was also very appreciative of the descriptions of Tess's delicious cooking. The house was creepy and there was the right haunting atmosphere created. I liked the mystery behind it too, particularly the working out clues from the creepy paintings. However, I was not a big fan of the ending; it felt rushed, like there were loose ends and there was a certain sense of ‘right, I'm done writing, wrapping this up now', which was a shame as I really enjoyed the rest of the book and couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next.
