I quite liked this book. I liked how the action moved along and the plot was complicated enough that the murderer wasn't obvious. It has a lot going for it, and I didn't take forever reading it, which is a plus. Another plus is that the language is fairly clean, and there are no graphically explicit scenes of sex and violence.Having said that, however, I have to knock off a few points for a few grammar/punctuation/spelling errors -- not a big deal. There were a TON of suspects, all of them introduced all at the same time at the party, and it was extremely confusing at times to keep them all straight. I'm still not clear on several of the people involved. There were a few places where I got tired of listening to her endless circular thoughts...the narration was long-winded and pointless. But only in a few spots ... not a big enough problem to make the book boring or anything. All in all, it was a mostly pleasant read and I quite enjoyed it.
