I really enjoyed this book! The mystery was well paced, and the clues were all scattered in in a way that was believable. There were of course some red herrings, but all the twists made sense. I highly recommend!
There are two different versions of this book - one published in the UK (the original) and one published in the US. While the differences aren’t huge, I do think some of the changes do affect the character of the story. I was reading along with a copy of the original text, and I felt the culture of being set in the UK made a lot of sense with some of the situations that happen.
