I can see why Becky enjoyed this, quite charming setting and very likeable protagonist

ish, nearly done, everything but the epilogue, it did kinda become a mystery novel at the end, but I stick by my earlier statement, more of a cozy gothic novel than a cozy mystery novel, and that's not a bad thing, the book's got atmosphere for days, both in the castle and the quaint Illinois town in which it's set.

I don't think this is actually a mystery novel, it's a novel with a mystery IN it, but it's actually more of a gothic novel, a modern day cozified gothic novel, certainly, but the way things happen, the protagonist is almost completely passive to the mystery. Things happen to her and she responds, she notices things, but she isn't LOOKING to solve the mystery
