Review: Good murder mystery
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 10, 2013
Start with a brutal murder on Christmas Eve, then fast forward a decade to a group of characters that didn't seem to fit, but were so interesting they kept me reading. The characters stayed true all the way to the middle, and seemed to flounder a bit before the plot grabbed them and drove everything forward to a wonderfully surprising conclusion. I give it 4 stars even though I still think the characters 'talked around the issue' more than needed, because I liked it anyway.
