easy one day read. i enjoyed how this book spun off of agatha christie to add a more modern twist to the original template of the crime.
i liked how, with knowledge of some science, you can pick up on a few details before they are revealed. like the age of the first corpse, and the fact that the shotgun had been killed way before her body was found (swing as it was found moments after the supposed killing).
i also like when i can work some bits of the mystery out by myself but yet as still surprised by other bits and pieces as i was with this book. however, with a large mass of characters, i felt sometimes they were very one sided ad i would have liked to see a bit more depth in them. but the lack of character depth made for a very easy read.
