This was a really good book and enjoyed it a lot. The story was very well written. The plot was engaging and always has me thinking. I like that in a good murder mystery. Edie's past and dislike for Christmas made me feel so sad for her. She has so much happen around that time of year. She's a cantankerous and very sarcastic old woman but I thought she was so funny. Her neighbour Riga was excellent as well. I liked all the characters to be honest. The murder wasn't who I thought. Well one of them wasn't!!! The mastermind and the actual killer. It was great! The book is written in third person. The majority being from Edie's POV. We also have some from the POVs of Sean and the killer. I really recommend this if you enjoy a good mystery!
