I found the book a little difficult to read because I found the printing of the paperback a bit exhausting and I couldn't always tell the many people apart. But I still liked the book. It is good to have the text of the song "The twelve days of Christmas" in mind, because then you can quickly draw parallels to the text. The solution to the case is not obvious and until that happens, it's fun to follow Georgina and Darcey with their Christmas party. ( )
