Moshfegh really understands isolation.
Not a typical murder mystery, felt interesting to examine her obsession from the true-crime obsessed post podcast society.
Interesting how Vesta wants to be called Mrs. Gool like Inspector Goole from an Inspector Calls, funny how she plays detective when she has no access to the case at all, another aspect in which she is isolated.
How we forget the dead and Vesta's fear that she will die alone and forgotten in the woods, yet her husbands opinions that she has internalised stop her from making connections.
