With that said, I found the story interesting and compelling enough to power through. And I would be interested in reading the second book in this series. Being familiar with a number of how to write a mystery rules, there were a few things I could pick up on and guess. But it was nice to know that even if I guessed correctly about some of those things, it did not ruin the book or the overall mystery for me.
This book holds a lot of humor and it was darker than I believe I was anticipating. The big twists in the narrative were shocking but not so shocking that they were unbelievable or too superfluous. It would take a member of this crazy family to stick through all this nonsense because if it were me, I would have gracefully bowed out.

Although I really loved it & laughed out loud several times. There was just something missing from it to make it an all time favorite. But would definitely recommend!
