The best part is the cast of characters

This was a fun little mystery. A murder in a spooky ancient mansion at a party where all the guests are trapped inside with the murderer and have to figure out who did it.
I could have used some more dialog between all the guests as they all accuse each other of murder. There's a good bit of it toward the end, though, so I'm happy.
I love all the different characters - somehow all these rich women from similar backgrounds are very unique and different from each other. Pearl herself was my favorite, with Willow a close second. The dynamic between the two sisters, who were the POV characters throughout, was a lot of fun, too.
