I was very unimpressed with this book. None of the characters are likeable and there is so much unnecessary lying that it becomes annoying and seems to be a crutch to fit the story together. The mystery does not begin to be unfolded until halfway through the book and by then it isn’t hard to guess what happened. I was very excited to read this book but I quickly become disappointed and couldn’t wait to get it over with.
