Isn't caring about the characters a given?

Well yeah, up to a point. I don't know...IIRC I cared more for the M&S of Lacadiva's 'Type 51', which is not a relationship story either. I guess I found these M&S lacked substance. They do their jobs following the clues and that's about it. Or maybe I was distracted and missed all the under currents, which again would not be a remote plausibility.

I used to read lots of horror stories so this kind of atmosphere is not particularly new and exciting for me - even if I have to admit it was indeed a creepy tale.

I still think it's a good, well written story, but it didn't really grab my guts.
