[Hope · Rating 4 out of 5]

I honestly really enjoyed this book. I was nervous as soon as I realized it was basically a whodunit book, since those aren't typically something I go for, but I liked it a lot. When I first picked it up, I thought it was a like paranormal ghost-type book.
I think a few things were left unexplained at the end, but I didn't mind so much which was shocking because usually something like that would really bother me.

A quick murder mystery. Was published in the 60s so it was a fun mystery without a lot of gore or unnecessary violent descriptions.
