The book is split between the two stories of a present-day narrator and a narrator from the past. I was far more interested in the portion from the past, as the present-day mystery felt pretty obvious to me, but the whole book was still enjoyable. I really liked how well it illuminated a little-known part of southern US history (or at least something I didn't know until now). Worth the read :)
