What are you reading?

Time for a bump on this thread because I have made some good headway with this classic:

What is the book about? Are you enjoying it?

It is a ghost/crime story without too many spoilers just in case you ever get hold of a copy it's set in what I believe to be the American east coast (either it doesn't actually say or I some how skipped that line) in the then contemporary 1940's and there's a lot of shady goings on surrounding how a small fortune was inherited.

There are a few phrases that are old timey enough to warrant a quick googling to understand but otherwise it's not a difficult read once you get used to the way folks used to talk back then. And yes I am enjoying it. :)
Mine is the edition photographed too so it's like the 50's edition but it was originally published in the 40's.
