I was obsessed with this book as a kid, and I love it even more as an adult. It’s funny how many things that had to have gone over my head in this book when I read it 15+ years ago. 10/10 highly recommend revisiting your old childhood favorites…this one especially!

I’m found myself softened by the end in a way I was not anticipating from a murder mystery!

Read for a book club. This month’s theme was to read a book with a game or puzzle in the plot. This book was alllll sorts of games. With over 16 characters it was hard to keep up with all the names, but I finally got used to it towards the end. The constant twists kept me engaged.
