A classic whodunit with a half twist, a jack-knife and a somersault, Enter To Win is sure to please mystery readers out there.The story is told in the first person and different chapters are told from the perspective of five of the characters in the book.  I absolutely enjoyed this aspect of the book.  Each of the five characters voices and perspectives were fully realized, fleshy people with desires, motives, wants, likes and dislikes.  Each of them only knew things based on what they saw and experienced and their individual slant on events were not always the same which made it so real.  Some adjacent chapters described the same event from the perspective of two different characters and each of them thought different things happened or perhaps for differing reasons because the characters all suspected each other.  Very cool.As events went on there was a nice build to the tension and I wanted to keep reading as I found out more and more that each of the characters had something to hide.Some of the writing here reminds me a lot of Agatha Christie except there is no grand detective to figure things out.  The reader must do it on his own.
