A VERY light but pleasant mystery, so light that perhaps if you do not hold on to the book it might float out of your hands. Sometimes a clue is dropped early, so that later, when the plot thickens (or at least gets harder to see through) you will remember that clue and Know that it should now be applied to the unfolding story. You won't lose the thread of this story. Now, this can be a good novel if you like something very light (and I do like the author's writing style...not stilted or awkward) to read just before going to sleep, You will not be kept awake thinking about it.
