This was a pretty good mystery, the only thing that was bad to me was that from the beginning of the book there are only really two suspects and once the one is removed about half way through the book its only interesting to see how the author reveals who killed the millionaire and how they gets caught. The one thing I really like about this book is it does not rely on sex and violence to tell the story, it relies on the interaction with the characters. More like Matlock and Diagnosis Murder than CSI or some of the other mystery shows on today. I would recommend this to any one who likes light mysteries that are short fast reads.
