This book is so atmospheric, creepy without being scary, and has a great cast of characters. I think Nora Roberts does a superior job of world-building in her novels and this is no exception. However! I will say it's a little dated which pulled me out of the story at times. The MC is obsessed with her "lifestyle change" meaning she talks a lot about dieting basically - although that world is never used. And there is a level of old school fairly, mild in my opinion, sexism that occurs but is also challenged.
Graphic: Rape
Minor: Fatphobia and Sexism
