I also would not call this a thriller as there was no stakes, just a mystery in an old house.
All of the subplots felt forced but the narrator of the 1990s cult section is what we really kept me sprung on this book as a habitual DNF’er. The present day storyline does get its big twist but I will still say the cult storyline is where I intensively read.
I could read a second book where they learn more about the children of the cult
