Really enjoyed this book! Just like the back of the book says, very Westing Game core.

I really enjoyed the other book I read by Racculia, Bellweather Rhapsody. She works 90s nostalgia into her books really well and writes quirky and fun characters. This book started out perfect – an adult version of The Westing Game (one of my very favorite books of all time) set in Boston. Gothic and dark characters. She clearly has intimate knowledge of Boston and Bostonians, which made it really fun. But I have to say – I completely lost interest about halfway through the book and barely made it through to the end, which makes me sad to admit.

A light enjoyable read, but the characters felt a little thinly drawn for my tastes. What can I say… I like ‘em deep.
