3.0

Although I was slightly hesitant at the start of this novel, I'm incredibly glad that I continued reading!  It was an intriguing locked room mystery with a twist and interesting characters that are neither perfect nor dull. I was somewhat disappointed by the end, however - not the grand reveal of who the murderer was, but rather at the very final chapter which left many unanswered questions and the future of many characters uncertain. The mystery itself was complicated yet easily explained in the end in a satisfying and realistic way.
