Okay so I unabashedly loved this. Yes, it was predictable and yeah, I figured out most of the clues and twists before they happened, but also? Just a fun read I couldn’t wait to pick up every evening.

This is not the type of mystery that the reader could piece together and solve, since a lot of the clues involve characters finding hidden compartments and passageways, or the characters only share the information needed to solve the next puzzle as they're solving it - it's not a whodunnit in that way. But it's entertaining and I read it really fast to find out what would happen!
