I loved The Hacienda. It took me a couple of days to read the whole thing, but the last half nearly kept me up overnight and had me captivated in a race to the end.
The only complaint I have about this book is the amount of questions that it leaves unanswered. There's an unaddressed question about whether one of the characters is unaware of a murder or complicit in its covering up, and as a reader, we never get to know. There are also a few decisions made by characters that are never made clear, and that's the kind of thing that will frustrate me to no end as a reader.
However, this haunted house story set in 1820s Mexico is beautiful, atmospheric, and chilling. I would highly recommend it!

I wanted a bit more character development for the main character at times, but I really enjoyed the supporting characters.
TLDR: definitely worth the read!!
