The first 150 pages of this were intriguing and kept me interested but then it just kept going on and on and on and on for HUNDREDS of pages with a whole bunch of pointless stuff about these 5 friends who I couldn't have cared less about (I feel exhausted and annoyed just thinking about their pointless, long-winded, and self-absorbed conversations), and there was virtually no mystery or investigation.

Loved this book and am definitely going to read the rest of this author's work. ...more
