Summary
A string of kidnappings has the village of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, on edge.
Longtime resident Edgar August thinks he knows who's behind them.
Edgar has a secret. In his spare time, he enjoys looking into his neighbors' windows, observing their private lives and spreading gossip. The old doctor who lives behind him has been acting strangely as of late, and witnessing his erratic behaviors over the course of weeks, Edgar begins to suspect that the retired physician, Marcel Dubois, is the kidnapper.
As his snooping gets more invasive, Edgar becomes convinced that his neighbor is up to something.
But that something, it turns out, is more horrifying than a mere kidnapping.
The Withering is the third novel in the House of Souls series.

Book 3
The story was almost a stand alone story, not the final book in the trilogy. It didn’t connect for me.

Lackluster in comparison to previous entries
I enjoyed the first two books in the series but this third unfortunately failed to hit home, the main character has much less personality than previous iterations, and is inspires less empathy (a rich loner who seems to take little interest in his partner and spies on his neighbours?). The story itself is also less robust than previous entries and I felt some important events seemed rushed or had little explanation or follow up by characters or story. *SPOLIERS* The ending also lacked impact for me, and seemed to rely on mere chance, the spirits presumably not having arranged the final event, it making no sense to put its target out of its own reach (would have been an interesting plot if the spirit was already in the victim and started working its way through a prison though).
