I did enjoy it, and read the book at the same time. I thought it was a reasonably good adaptation, (although I don't remember Devon every being 'up north') but the ending was nothing like the book! In the book,
Stefan was murdered first and thrown down the well (I think!) and then Cribben went on to strangle all the other children one by one. Yes, future inhabitants of the house did hear the swish-thwack of Cribben's cane. I don't normally enjoy ghost stories, but I did think this one was quite good.
