This was such a great little book. There's nothing I love more than a good book set in a boarding school, and a mystery makes it even better. It was fairly short but Susan McBride managed to pack a lot of story into very few pages. As an avid mystery reader, I get to the point where I can usually make it through entire books without being the slightest bit surprised by the story line but there were a few times I found myself not seeing what was coming. The only problem I had was that I never felt really attached or like I cared about the characters. I can't wait to read more from this author! ( )

Quick, fun read. I think what I liked most was the writing style. This is the first book I've read by this author but it won't be my last. I also thought the mystery was well done. There were two obvious suspects that seemed completely unrelated so it was fun to read as the pieces started falling into place. As an avid reader, sometimes I just want to pick up a great story that is quick, well organized, concise, and compelling and this was that kind of book for me. I really enjoyed it! ( )
