A cleverly written group gets together in a graveyard, which reveals a freshly dug grave in a historical graveyard. Who dug it and why? 

I liked the characters- their descriptions felt individual and somewhat described. I could picture them. The story needed more- It was a little intriguing but there wasn’t enough set up for the gravedigger, for the actions the five characters took regarding. But maybe it was trying to be overly ambitious for being such a short story. 

The mystery never felt mysterious enough for me to follow after so it was hard to fall in-line with the characters that did. But the writing is good and makes me want to read other stories by the author. The book has a premise that could be promising but never fully develops. And then it ends? Like, is that an ending? I wish this was like 75-100 pages more.
