4.0

Loved the period feel of 1920s New York, and the characters are engaging and fun to spend time with. Also enjoyed the dark supernatural occultish elements which lend it the feel of a light-hearted horror. But it's too long for this kind of book (a supernatural mystery thriller), and it ends about seven times, because apparently all the major and minor characters need their own mini-ending.
