The book would be good reading for middle school kids; read like it could have been written by someone in high school. Too many characters; most were undeveloped. By the end I really didn’t care who the killer was, I just wanted to finish it for my book club. All of us in my group had the same general consensus. P.S. to the publisher: in the book the dogs were Labs, but there are Corgis on the cover, like all Brits must have Corgis?
