This book was such a pleasure to read. I loved it in the same way I love The Westing Game.

Too many characters that were uninteresting, found myself nearly halfway through and really didn't care enough to finish
This is the grown-up scavenger hunt I’ve been waiting for! Tuesday Mooney leads a group of misfits to play a game set up by a dying billionaire. The dialogue is superb… So clever and funny. The characters are captivating and real. There is an undercurrent of magic… but each instance could also be explained away as non-magical… so it kept me wondering. The surprise twists and turns were delightful and the ending very satisfying.

It was a fun read. I liked the writing style very much. The mystery could have been great but the puzzle and riddles were not completely fleshed out. The characters were interesting but their journey felt too disparate. They were connected and moving in the same direction but around each other not with each other. It could have been great but in the end was very good.
