Bit of a mixed bag. McDowell's atmospheric writing is captivating, but the story itself lacks the desired mystery and suspense. The supernatural elements, while initially intriguing, feel a bit overdone. Overall, it's worth a read if you enjoy southern gothic, but don't expect a mind-blowing mystery.
