When Owen's sister dies in Chapel Lake, he's overwhelmed with a need to follow her journey, find out what took her there, and underwater chapel holds. The chapel had a following in the 70s that drew similarities to other charismatic cults from that era. 

I don't know that I can say Owen is a likeable character but the surrounding characters draw you in and the story is solid. I find the idea of diving to be claustrophobic so this definitely had some moments that made me want to nope out of there. 

There were things that I didn't enjoy but overall, I would recommend it. Duncan Ralston never fails to provide a satisfying tale.
