dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

A good mystery, if a very sad one. I thought the use of psychic was silly, though. The author seems New Age-y. 
I liked the descriptions of Mendocino but I wish she had gone into more detail.
