The First Murder on Venus is an engaging book. It has a quick pace and it does push you to turn the page to read what happens next – which I think is the characteristic of an appealing, good book. I liked the pace, I liked the plot, but was a little disappointed in the ending.The fact that it is set on Venus – a new planet – forces you to use your own imagination to “see” what the author describes. You feel like the book is showing you everything live for everything is vividly described and cliff-hangingly interesting. I actually read it back to back in one go because I could not bring myself to close it, and continue reading it later.I felt the book is best for teens who love Hardy Boys, Famous Five, Nancy Drew types of books; and those who in general love light suspense plots. It keeps you on edge, but does not give you the time to think about or look for solutions. A good read overall.
