This book tends to be very psychological. Merricat is an interesting, if unreliable narrator. She protects her sister from the judgement of the outside world. We discover that several years ago, arsenic was found in the sugar bowl, and many members of the Blackwood family died as a result. The only ones who survived were Constance (who was charged and later acquitted of the crime), Merricat, and Uncle Julian whose physical health and mental faculties suffered as a result of the poisoning. When cousin Charles arrives, things really start happening and you begin to realize just how unstable the Blackwood household really is. Disturbing psychological suspense with a creepy setting, this book was fun.
