I was suspicious of Francis for most of the book, but pleasantly glad that he was not Virgil or Howard Jr.

The beginning was a little slow then there was a lot happening. After the twist was revealed I wasn’t as interested in how they solve the issue. I liked Francis as a character with some complexity. The rest of the Doyle family gave me the Ick and I think that was the point. The author did a good job characterizing the Doyle family
I don’t think the book was bad I just think it was mysterious, then the mystery was revealed and shocking and everything else was just fine.

hnagarne's review against another edition
4.5
4.5 rounded up.
i finished this book eight days ago and i'm still thinking about it, which is how i know it was a five star read. it was so atmospheric and spooky and horrifying -- not my usual kind of read at all. i did briefly read the plot synopsis before diving in, but sometimes i just pick up a book and see where it takes me, you know? and this one was a journey.
if i had known this book would have incest and cannibalism i am not sure i would have picked it up tbqh, but i am glad i did.
