3.0
Such a neat story. I am not typically a mystery fan, but this was a favorite of mine for a long time. I read this book before seeing the musical/movie/adaptations.
When I read this for the first time, I remember being totally taken aback by the scene with the lake.
Probably won't reread, but I did enjoy it while reading.
