Super disappointing for me. I didn't really get any atmosphere from the writing and there wasn't real tension until the final 20% of the book. The horror elements were introduced way too late, and as a result up until nearly the end it just seems like a fairly standard mystery. I also didn't really care much about any of the characters, and the relationship between Margot and Tess was very flat.
