Initially, I was going to give this three stars as I thought I knew the criminal the whole time. I was wrong and this ended up being a delightful mystery novel with enough intrigue, dropped hints and false walls to keep you guessing while also maintaining a good amount of character for Ms. Rodgers who you simply have to feel for.
