This was a slow-burn mystery, more character-driven and atmospheric than action packed. I thought the pacing was great, and I couldn't read the last 50 or so pages fast enough. It's also so creepy, and has a ton of depth for a murder mystery, with great characters and realistic complex relationships. My only issue is that I knew who the killer was IMMEDIATELY. hat said, this was so much more than a whodunnit, so that really didn't matter.
