I was suspicious of Francis for most of the book, but pleasantly glad that he was not Virgil or Howard Jr.

The beginning was a little slow then there was a lot happening. After the twist was revealed I wasn’t as interested in how they solve the issue. I liked Francis as a character with some complexity. The rest of the Doyle family gave me the Ick and I think that was the point. The author did a good job characterizing the Doyle family
I don’t think the book was bad I just think it was mysterious, then the mystery was revealed and shocking and everything else was just fine.

The plot itself was good and the pacing picked up around the half way mark and kept me reading until it was finished.
