Review: Great Mystery Book

"Three Sisters" by Helen Smith is a great novella/short story. I started reading this not really realizing that it was a mystery book. The main character Emily Castles is going through a bit of a rough time at the beginning of the story. Her dog had just died a few days before and her going to this party was something to help get her mind off of things. Having lost dogs in the past, I could easily relate to Emily and her time of grief following the loss of a dog. Emily heads to the party and seems some unusual character's once she arrives. I like that the story gets right down to the action (which it kind of has to since it is such a short story).  The sense I got from the story is that it would be almost like going to one of those murder mystery dinners and knowing that it's fake, but still getting caught up in all the action and wanting to find out what will happen next based off your actions.  Emily quickly realizes that there is something else going on at the party, other than the party and takes up trying to solve whatever it is that is going on.  Without giving too much away, I would recommend this story of Emily and her adventures of the night.
