I really enjoyed this book. It was more of a novella than a novel -- only 70 pages -- but it was self-contained and quite good. First of all, any of you who follow my reviews knows that bad grammar and poor editing are two of my giant pet peeves that just drive me insane. This particular book had none of that. It was very well-written and well-edited.
Furthermore, the storyline was unique. It is true that there are murder/mystery stories out there by the millions, but this one took its own interesting twist which makes it memorable. In other words, it isn't one of those books that a person reads and then, a month later, sees it somewhere and has to ask themselves, "Hmmm... did I read that? It seems vaguely familiar... Hmmm... I'm just not sure."
On the contrary, this book was one that, six months from now, someone will be discussing an episode of Bones or a James Patterson novel, and I will be able to chime in with, "OH! I read this book recently that was a bit like that, only it had ALLIGATORS in it!" Ha.
With such a small story, it is hard to write a long review, but I will say this, I will most definitely be reading the second book in the series -- All Saints' Secrets -- within the next 48 hours. :-D
