The Nesting

3.5 ⭐
According to the blurb The Nesting is a gothic thriller, and it certainly has all of the ingredients, but I just can't help feeling something is missing.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it for the most part, but the ending fell kind of flat. Also, with the exception of the children, none of the main characters were particularly likeable.
I did like the eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere of the Norwegian countryside where the bulk of the story is set. This, coupled with the Nordic folk tales, and the talk of suicide, makes for unsettling reading.
