suspenseful - will keep you on the edge of your seat!
This is a good light mystery. Easy read, pulls you in and makes it difficult to put the book down until you've finished.
This book almost lost me at first. I was a little put off by some stuff in the beginning and I almost stopped reading it. It got better though and I had to know how it ended. I felt the ending was rushed compared to the rest of the book and could have been better. Still, Im glad I finally read this book that has been on my bookshelf for over a decade.
