This was a fun locked-room murder mystery thriller and I enjoyed getting to know each character and learning how each was connected to the victim as well as their potential motives for killing Blaine.
The setting is amazing! The 1920's mansion was painted so vividly that I could see, hear, smell, feel, and even taste every detail. These details were interwoven so well and helped move the plot along and never felt as if their inclusion weighed down the pacing.
The flashbacks for each character helped me get to know the suspects and really "see" them as vulnerable individuals. The twists were fun and some of them I didn't see coming. I enjoyed the suspense, intrigue, and betrayals.
Although I was able to figure out the real killer about half way through, there was always a tiny voice in my head that said, what if you guessed incorrectly? And of course, I had to keep reading to find out the details--the whys, hows, and whens of the crime.
