It was okay. I expected a mystery to have some sort of ending/conclusion. Just a set up for the next book.

I really really wanted to enjoy this book more. I loved the storyline and it grabbed me at first. However, it’s a student who is trying to figure out a cold Murder case 90 years ago. Anyway, it became to staccato for me and my interest waned as a result.
