The telling of the story is entertaining, but it's also pretty cliche when it comes to plot. It's a good read if you don't feel like getting into anything heavy.

This jacket cover was very misleading. (Little inside blurb of what the story was about).

I felt no suspense. I felt no real emotion on whether or not the mystery was solved. And really? The Ordained was a side story that really had nothing to do with the book or "mystery" at all. And wasn't really enough to pique my interest in the Ordained. I mean, so there was one guy left. Big deal! So they wanted a "miracle" that never came. I mean, meh.

And then, of course, the book is magically solved. And of course there would be an insider on the job. One who you all trusted and liked. Cuz you couldn't see that plot twist coming.

I'm tired and this book just kinda sucked. But I read it. lol

Fantastic book by my uncle. This one takes place back in Indiana, as opposed to New Jersey, and brings back a few characters from "The Lost Keats." Good characters, good plot twists. I love how Uncle Terry can create plot developments that send shivers down your spine without tons of glorified gore and destruction.

Quirky character, but I like those. Good for people who like lighter mysteries
