I don't think mysteries are for me. First of all, it was hard to believe that Bruno actually convinced Guy to murder his father, even though Bruno carried out his part of the deal. Secondly, I had a hard time liking or even tolerating any of the characters in the novel. I think that was the point, but I personally like to read books that feature characters I can root for, and I was basically rooting against everyone. This is an interesting novel but definitely not my taste.
