The mystery kept me interested enough, but I didn't seem to like this one as much as McFadden's other books, most of which average a 4-star rating at least. Perhaps because there were so few characters and I disliked them all, so didn't really care what happened to any of them? I think I prefer either a diverse cast that keeps me guessing, or if it's a smaller set of characters, ones that have a few redeemable qualities among their flaws, so theyre more human and I cant decide how I feel about them in the end. Again though, the plot was intriguing enough to have me power through this in 2 days so it was still time well spent.
