Enjoyable enough and a quick read, but a little cheesy and missing clues that would help the reader try to figure it out, thereby lacking the “ah-ha!” factor that I enjoy in a whodunnit. I wouldn’t move this to the top of a to-read list but I wouldn’t remove it either - keep it on there for when you’re looking for something quick and mysterious without too much anxiety.
