Good adventure! It's pretty easy to run and to prepare - and I think even without preparation you could just take this and have a good time together with your players. Plot is decent and it could be run as oneshot in few hours. You have combat encounters, different NPCs (I like to use silly voices) and puzzles in it.
I've runned it for 5 3rd level characters - don't do this, it was walk in the park. I think 2nd level would make things tense, but not deadly for new to hobby players. We make it into 3 hours - I dropped stage of tavern whispers gathering and allowed them shortcome some of encounters by smart play.
The most iconic characters of this adventure as for me are the waltzing couple in the center of crypt. I played them as totally bored from dance him "10 years of dance without break, can we talk to those guys" and her like "save your breath, dear, we should make this 13 years challenge". They both are friendly unless you "wake up children" and could be used as tipgivers, if party is stuck on puzzle.
In general my player's opinions were divided on my run of this adventure: girls were "that's a blast", but guys were like "boring, we want more and harder fights". But I think in general adventure is pretty good and I am going to run it again someday. Recommend to buy it!
