Figured out the solution at 44%, the plot had holes, the dialogue was unrealistic and the characters were one-dimensional.

Postmodern Scream-esque take on the gothic horror genre. Does really well with the mystery and multiple POV at the beginning, but as the information gets slowly revealed it's harder to stick the landing. The ending as a result feels very anticlimactic.

I was really in the mood for something different to dive into and this fit the bill quite nicely. A gothic novel, murder mystery, family drama, on a remote little island? Sounds good to me. And it was. I liked getting both sisters points of view. I hated the tragedy of them never getting to meet. I enjoyed the pace and the writing style. Some of the plots were a bit predictable but the suspense in how they unfolded definitely made up for it.
