Rating: 3.5 – a different kind of mystery
Opinion: This was an interesting book. The mystery was good, but there wasn’t a lot of action to support it. The book held a steady pace that kept it all interesting. I liked that it was more ordinary people that took charge of the mystery. While they may not have made the smartest decisions, they three non-detectives did a good job with helping the case. The author did a good job with the character switches in the book. Though the loops thrown at you towards the end of the book made it harder to follow. I would’ve liked to see them spread out a little bit more. The surprises all at once almost took the fun out of the book for me. Overall, I enjoyed the book. I recommend this book for anyone who likes a simpler mystery,
