I love this author so I read it even though I’m not a huge horror person. Or a magical realism person. But I still was enthralled. I really enjoyed the podcast aspect and the interviews. It has an excellent ending. Personally I liked her book White Smoke better but this one is definitely great too. I think people who enjoy horror and magic and true crime would enjoy this book even more than me!
