I don't know what the point of this book was. It took 102 pages to develop the so called 'mystery.' I knew I should have stopped reading but all the reviews had said what a good writer this author was. I stuck with it and now regret doing so. This is a very simple book with a lot of things that need to happen in a cetain way and of course they do. The characters seem to be living in the 1930's even though this takes place in current time. They all are naive people. This is my second book by this author and I will not make the mistake of reading a third book! You shouldn't either.
