Like a mix between The Westing Game and Veronica Mars if they took place in the Winchester House. Perfect mystery puzzle without any unnecessary scenes. Every clue is important throughout the story in one way or another. One of my favorites I've read and one of the few books I think is worth marking up a copy with notes and highlights to keep track of the drama! The romantic triangle is an interesting touch, again reminiscent of Veronica Mars. Doesn't disrupt the progress of the plot though nor hinge all the plot on that aspect.
