What a fun and interesting murder in a murder story experience! The combination of accidental death, suicides, and murders gave the mind lots to play with! And untangling the characters of the "book in a book" and the book itself was a challenge in and of itself.
The ending was as expected in terms of the main character and her boyfriend ending up together as should be, and the relationship between the author and his main detective (of the book within a book) was fascinating and gave a sort of spice to the whole thing.
