This book was so fast paced, and I found myself wanting to read this every night after work. The focus of the book - the solving of a long lost murder/suicide - was interesting, specifically the details known to the public. It was a unique crime with lots of possibilities for the story to evolve.
There are short chapters, and the plot is kept succinct to focus on revealing all of the clues to get to the grand finale. To bring it all together, there is a lot of humor thrown in to lighten up an otherwise dark story. I found it very interesting that the author is clearly British or English (the language used is often not the American version) but still chose to write with a setting in Connecticut.
It is written very much for the younger reader - the writing is certainly not life changing. I appreciate the book for what it was - a fast, quick murder mystery. The story was good, and the ending came together beautifully. I am not blown away, but I definitely wanted to see how it all ended and was not disappointed with the ending.
