This murder mystery reminds me a lot of Nancy Drew books I read as a kid, where everything is a bit silly and hammed up. Anyone who's ever had a disagreement with the murder victim is automatically a suspect (as if one's only choice in a disagreement is to kill the other person), the murderer goes around leaving threatening notes that just gives away who they are/what they are up to, and everything wraps up a little too neatly at the end. Unfortunately, it's not a mystery where you the reader can follow along and solve since the given clues aren't enough to lead to an answer, so that takes some of the fun out of it. Still, it's an entertaining read if you're looking for something light and simple.
