Dark & musty, with a smell of death and abandonment.

Very well written, but totally ridiculous, mystery thriller with a bunch of unpleasant characters doing extremely odd things just to make the plot work. Setting the story in a smart house in the isolated highlands of Scotland, rather than the leafy snoburbs of a large city, was a neat idea and added to sense of dread and loneliness . The resolution made me sigh but the big twist was Star Wars(ish).

Summary... Utterly bonkers, but was I entertained? Yes I was.
