a perfectly competent mystery, but I've somehow found that this genre just isn't something I enjoy. Perhaps it also has to do with the very simple, straightforward writing of this novel specifically, but I just wasn't particularly invested in finding the murderer.

I felt like I knew who did it halfway through the book, got it "right", and then got slapped on the back with a funny little twist that just doesn't work all that well for me. ah well...
