I read this for the Popsugar reading challenge, for the prompt "a locked-door mystery." I didn't really care for this at all, so I don't think I'll be reading mysteries again in the future. I liked the style of the dialogue in general, but there was a lot more telling instead of showing. I didn't like how the only women in the book were love interests or parents with no real character traits. In any case, I'm glad to have checked this off my list.
