sad
tense
medium-paced

A mix
Strong character development:
Yes

Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
The ending was masterful
Tied into themes while being subversive
And there's a momentinvolving the blanket party that just broke my heart for a minor character.
The characters stick in my head, especially the elders, grandmary and Lily.
The sense of place, i.e. on the jogs, when going from the US to Canada
Much better usage of grief than I find in mysteries generally
