I picked this up because I'm currently writing a supernatural mystery and wanted to read an adult mystery that involved the paranormal or supernatural. You should always read what you write, it helps a lot. But I never would have picked this up if I wasn't writing something similar and I'm glad I did. 
 I really enjoyed it and will be reading the rest in the series. I liked Harper and Tolliver and the supernatural aspect was very interesting and brought a lot to the story. The only issues I had with this was the over-detailing and it was a bit predictable. I HATE over-detailing I feel like it defaces the readers view of the story and how we as readers see the characters. It was a bit predictable like many mysteries and I don't think I've ever read a mystery where I was surprised by the killer or culprit's reveal at the end. But other than that I really liked it. 
 I'd recommend it if you enjoy mystery, suspense, and dead bodies. :)
