There’s a Halloween party happening at the library, but the last thing anyone needed was a real death.
Story had a nice and easy narrative, but it had a slow start and a daunting pace. There are many characters introduced in the first several chapters, each one getting a brief summary on their lineage and how they connect with the other characters. Not sure if this was all necessary. It seemed to deviate from the main story. Odd when we got to the conversations between the cats.
The dead body of the caretaker’s son isn’t discovered until chapter 11 –that’s quite some time before the plot starts to thicken. You really don’t get much in the first 10 chapters. Seriously, the body should’ve been discovered like in chapter 2 or 3.
After that, the mystery then goes into a rehash of the past involving an old town legend, which was interesting. Perhaps the intricacies were much too elaborate for my liking. Overall, an okay read, but needed a faster pace.
My rating: 3 stars
