[Judith · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can’t believe that it took me 7 days to read a small 182 page book!! This book was so confusing. The plot was twisted and had turns all over the place. I really had a very hard time understanding what was going on let alone figure out the mystery. I wonder if it is because this is really the 5th in the series, but the first four are not published in the US. I have several more so I will try another one, but if that one is not better than off they go to charity.
