More like 3.5 stars. This mystery started off so promising, so intriguing. With an interesting cast of characters and the foreshadowing of the nursery rhyme, I couldn’t wait to see how the story would unfold. So the first half of the book earned 5 stars.
But what started as a clever thriller soon became trite and amateurish. There were few, if any, plot twists; and the ending was so convenient it was like a grade schooler wrote it. A disappointing ending to what I had hoped would be a terrific t ...more
