Reviews

[lisacee]

This was an interesting book, a mystery within a mystery, but it just kept going. There were multiple times that I thought they could wrap the story up. By the end, I wasn't enjoying the book - by that point I just had to finish it.

On the plus side, I didn't guess whodunnit.

I'm not usually much of a "whodunnit" sort, though I do occasionally find something that I find interesting. This one certainly fit the bill - a mystery within a mystery. And honestly, if Horowitz decided to create a series based upon the detective in the book within the book, I would quite happily read it.

I'm glad I took a chance on reading this one - I'm afraid I've neglected far too many of things I should have been doing today in order to read, but...I can't say I'm too upset about it ;)
