WOOF this was a fun, fast-paced read. Loved the feeling of all the unanswered questions going into Part III, and then the story finally falling into place with a THUMP. Devastating ending, but not unwarranted. An excellent read.

This is the first mystery book I read and I think I’m going to get more into mystery after doing so. The style of writing is amazing. The plot isn’t confusing and was easy to understand the more you get into the book. I felt more and more satisfied when the puzzle pieces of the mystery were coming together.

Okay so like my first mystery novel it definitely took me awhile to get through. But I'm so glad I finished it it was so good. I was very sad about the dog died though that killed me broke my heart a little okay maybe a lot. I really didn't see that coming like at all. I already wish I could re-read it! Very good book highly recommend it!
