The over arching plot of the book was enjoyable and well thought out. Some of the puzzle pieces were told a bit obviously, but they still fit, no plot holes.
This was definitely an "along for the ride mystery". While the pieces fit they are so scrambled and several are red herrings making it impossible to find the answer.
While I liked the story, some of the chapter switches were very sudden and jarring. I definitely think some of the character building and connections could have been filled out more.
The sub plots felt like curve balls that would then swing violently back toward the main story making it a bit difficult to enjoy the lighter moments. The word play and quips were enjoyable, even if sometimes they felt a bit forced.
A lot of the description felt like the author wanted to write a dark thriller, but then was afraid of the description that would illicit the shivers of memorable books in the genre.
Over all it was a cute read and was short enough to stay enjoyable.
