This is one of those quieter mysteries (I mean, a murder mystery nonetheless) that is less of a thriller and more an examination of human dynamics. I really enjoyed the analysis of femininity, beauty, anger, family, death, etc. However, Lemon did feel a bit incomplete. Not enough questions were answered, especially for a book set up to be a mystery. But I still thought the writing and characters were worth the read.
