4.0
Very twisty and entertaining. After the first twist totally floored me I did have often have some idea of where the next twist was going, but it was a fun ride nonetheless. I even semi-guessed the ending, but forgot by the time I got there because so much else was going on.
I found the main character's curiosity about everything very relatable, but otherwise had a lot of minor annoyances with different characters, or just the overall worldview presented in the book. (Example: The idea that punishing a murder with death makes you the same as the murderer. This is a fairly popular idea, but totally false from a Biblical perspective.)
Generally recommended for mystery fans mid teens and up.
