5.0

Absolutely brilliant. I read this book a few years ago when I accidentally discovered it in the library and thought the cover looked cool. Little did I know how awesome it was going to be. I would recommend avoiding reading any details about the plot (even the back cover) before your read it as most of the fun of this book is watching the central mystery unravel

This is a strange little puzzle box of a novel, and you end up spending a lot of it trying to figure out what actually happened before the story takes place. I was satisfied with the conclusion, but I feel like the story beforehand was a bit repetitive and dragged in places.
