Finished this book in one day (two counting the fact that I finished it at 2 am). So, obviously, I liked it.
Once we figured out what the mystery really was, I felt the book was much better. However, I was disappointing with the build-up regarding the “ghost” of the manor.
What I was NOT disappointing about though was the twists and turns this book took. I thought I had the whole book figured out like 30% through but I was pleasantly surprised I was wrong. I think better organization would have definitely put the book to a 5 star mark.
Fun read, irritatingly similar to every other classic book, but I think the idea was just that. Predictable.
I loved reading this book...Klassen is quickly becoming a new favorite of mine. The family drama was so interesting, and the smuggler mystery was a good touch to keep me turning pages. Five stars.
