Amazing read. Kept me hooked throughout! The author's style is so agreeable to read, and the mystery is so well-woven, I had a hard time putting it down - although the resolution of the case did peter out a bit. I really like how Ivy's feelings are fleshed out throughout, she's a very rounded character and I grew to really like her despite all her (rather glaring) flaws. The rest of the cast is almost equally as interesting, too.
