4.0

Definitely more than just a mystery book. I think this is the kind of book you’d get if the actual characters from Agatha Christie’s stories got to write their stories for themselves. The myster itself was fun and unpredictable, but the characters are definitely the star of the book. They’re endearing, and charming and easy to love. The writing of Donna made me uncomfortable in some scenes, though I can’t expound on why. 
The writing is definitely something  I enjoyed. It was witty, funny, and gave each character their voice.
