This book got me out of a reading slump and into reading mystery novels. I really enjoyed the fast pace of the book and I related to Pip a lot. This book is definitely for fans of plot focused novels and while the characters were easy to either love or hate there was not a lot of development of the actual characters other than to get closer to the answer to the mystery. Overall I loved this book and I think anyone that is a fan of mystery or
is in a reading slump should read this.
