An enjoyable, atmospheric, and aptly spooky mystery. Nothing very special, but well-written nonetheless. There were a few slight historical inaccuracies that probably wouldn't matter to anyone besides me as someone who studies that field (won't say what as it is a spoiler). Overall, though, a good read.
Graphic: Child death and Murder
Moderate: Child abuse and Kidnapping
Minor: Drug use and Genocide
