It was cute, as I imagined it unfolding like a Clue-style movie. In fact, i would not be surprise if this is optioned for a miniseries or movie. I was a bit annoyed by how it was packaged up so nicely in the end. Maybe I needed a LIIIIITTLE more, something to kind of acknowledge the seriousness of it all. Still a quick, fun(?) read. (Note: I'm also in a sensitive emotional place right now, so maybe sitting in a hospital waiting room reading about a funny manslaughter adventure wasn't the right thing for me in the moment.)
