This is a moderately creepy mystery, with interesting and functional Horror bits (or at least a ghost story). Lots of classic thriller/mystery/horror tropes being riffed on, inverted, subverted. A strong whiff of something like redemption, and a bright love story threaded in. Some moments of people (especially the POV) behaving dubiously, and some instances when the choice of present tense narration seems to clash with the story, but nothing crippling, and the art in the book (and in the story of the book) is a strength.
