I enjoyed the quickly turning of events as this book moved along. It was almost as if we were following a zigzag pattern on a map. We would head off down One Direction investigating down that direction, only to be stopped dead and turned around and head up in a completely different direction. This book definitely kept me guessing
I was not prepared for the gruesome murders, I could’ve given it one less star just for those all by themselves. I could say it was an appropriate book to read around Halloween time though.

I continue to empathize and feel badly for Agatha in her search for Mr. Right. It seems that the author is trying to make a point that sometimes looking too hard makes you miss seeing what is right in front of you.

I also understand the mindset of Agatha who needs to have an obsession at all times, and she is not afraid to chase after it, even if she might fail miserably. I can see where that would make her a very good detective. You have to test your theories, even when everyone else thinks that it’s crazy and you are crazy for thinking it. She appears to go against the grain in this book many times over, like usual, and just goes off instinct and crazy guesses sometimes.
I was shocked to see the multiple attempts on her life in this book however. The author seems to have been trying to increase the drama, which wasn’t normal when compared to some of her other mysteries.
