Suspenseful story about a mystery man

"Wow! What a thrilling beginning to this mystery story about a stranger that appears each year and leaves the name of the next person that's going to die/ disappear! I'm curious to find out what will happen next, as I'm already invested in the story! Poor Magda, hopefully her friend will find a sollution or a way to to put an end to that awful 'tradition'. Great job, Leni, if the rest of the story is going to be just as to the point, eloquent, and suspenseful, it'll be a great work! AL"
