Arrived while we were away for my daughter's wedding. Thanks so much for sending it.
I had read this before and was glad for the chance to read it again to see if I understood it any better this time. I would say yes, although it is both murder mystery and ghost story and I had trouble taking the ghost part seriously. Thinking about the "Lady of the Lake" as symbolic of the past rather than as an actual malevolent force in the lake was helpful to my understanding. I think our histories and genetics do drag us down sometimes, we can drown from the force of our past mistakes and sins, from the history of who we are. It can be too much to fight against. There was a lot of history going on in this book, both of the town itself and many of the people in it. When people commit evil does some force in the world help them or not? I guess that is a question.
