Though the novel was a bit slow at the start, it certainly picked up after page 45! I’m not a regular mystery reader, but I enjoyed this classic as it is both approachable and short. Part two was a wild ride. I know mysteries are supposed to keep you guessing, but I was expecting neither
murderous Mormons
nor
a cross-continental revenge plot
. It’s quite a convoluted tale, but I enjoyed it anyway.

I’ve been meaning to read this since I was little and I’m glad I finally got to it. People say that the second part of the book is jarring but since I knew it was coming I wasn’t phased and thought it was very engaging.
