3.5

Murder mystery isn’t my favorite genre but this did keep me turning in the pages to see how it all played out. It was impressive from the standpoint of how Christy orchestrated these complicated murders to match the rhyme and never give away the murderer.

The ending explanation of the final death didn’t make a lot of sense to me but oh well. And the casual anti-semitism toward a named but never seen character surprised me (especially considering the substantial other changes that have been made since the original publishing).
