It’s true, this book is delightfully atmospheric and all the better when read after dusk to the sound of a rainstorm (I can testify)! The subplot of romance was a great complement to the themes of the book. I loved the blend of academia, mystery, and magical realism. 
Only warnings are that the themes of overcoming past sexual harassment were far stronger than I anticipated.
