In the end of this book, the governess is having dinner with Miles without Flora and Mrs. Grose. The governess asks Miles if he took her letter then she notices Peter Quint outside. The sight startles her but then asks Miles if the man is indeed who she thinks it is. When Miles looks, he screams and dies into her arms. Personally, I did not like the end of this book. It ended quite abruptly and I think could have been better. The ending was certainly unpredictable but sudden. On the plus side, I enjoyed the book very much. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story.
