My Rating: 6/10

My Thoughts:
Though this book was not a piece of exquisit literary fiction, it was very entertaining. The mystery was full of twists and it managed to suprise me when the murderer was revealed. I loved the Pride and Prejudice references, which made it blatently obvious who the love interest was, and I loved the refrences to other works of classic literature. Pretty much anytime there is a main character who loves books as much as I do, I'm going to enjoy the read.
