This did deliver on the dirt.

However, I found myself not enjoying as much the latter parts of the book which felt both slow and rushed in its pacing. I preferred the pacing that the beginning of the book had which set the plot up nicely giving great characterization on the extensive cast of characters but it soon diverged in terms of quality or perhaps my preference to Stoker's style of narration. I am not the biggest fan of the epistolary format especially when it has so many different points of view but overall, I found this to be an interesting novel.
