I really enjoyed this. I found it genuinely unsettling and creepy in parts.
The way the story threads wrapped up was satisfying and I found that although I had figured out one or two aspects of the mystery, I hadn't gotten all of the way there which is perfect for me.
My only real criticism is that it could have been a little shorter as there came a point about 2/3s in when I was just really anxious for a conclusion.
Still thoroughly enjoyed it though!
