This is fine but fairly predictable. The spooky elements are mildly interesting and fit the brief, but what I really want is more characterization--the characters feel more surface-level than I anticipated, and there are some side characters that didn't really need to be included. It is a decently fun mystery, though, and I don't regret reading it.
Graphic: Death, Violence, and Murder
Moderate: Child death, Rape, and Sexual assault
Minor: Cancer and Death of parent
