What happens when you have an unsolved mystery and 6 brilliant minds to work on a solution together?
This books focuses on the inductions and deductions by a "mystery club" who took turns each night sharing their thoughts and ideas.
I love this kind of books, which are conversation heavy and the character's are so well constructed and almost feel real, making me feel like I was the 7th member sitting in the same room with them.
The pacing was good, albeit there was lots of repetition as people picked up previous points made by other characters and spoke about them at length.
The ending was unexpected to me, and very satisfying.
