All in all, this book was pretty good. I was under the impression that it was a murder mystery, which it definitely was not. It was definitely slow moving, and it took a while to really get into it. It was not my favorite of her books by any means, but it was a fun read.

A very long and slow build up to what then feels like a whole bunch of random and chaotic things thrown in the end.
