This was one of my least favorite of the Psych books. It dragged on. A lot. There was also a lot of pointless side tracks the case took that wasn't necessary, this book didn't need to be over 250 pages it could have easily been a solid 200 or even in the 100 page range. It seemed the author dragged the story on just to hit the 250 page goals. 

I do wish the books were from Shawn's point of view instead of Gus'. I know the show followed Shawn's view and the book wanted to give Gus some spotlight but I think it would have been a lot better for the books to be in Shawn's POV. It would have made a lot more sense.
