"Good Concept, Poor Execution"
Story had a lot of potential and the author picked a very unique setting for the mystery. Additionally, the author's descriptive skills proved to be very good. Very easy to envision oneself standing in the scene. Unfortunately, the ending just petered out as if the author ran out of ideas. It was so unfulfilling that the author had to have the guilty party confess everything simply so she could tie-up loose ends. Most disappointing; however, was the narrator. No personality, no emotion. Just a stiff cardboard reading of the book with no animation or enjoyment whatsoever. Very disappointing.
"Suspense - too much repetition"
I like this writer's way of keeping you guessing. She develops her characters well and adds a slight bit of romance. Still this book was too repetitious with the clue review.
