This book was a really good mystery, but I found myself a little confused by everything going on in it and all of the possible suspects. I think there were probably 20 or more characters in the book, by my count, most of whom were possible suspects. I just had trouble keeping track of them all, let alone trying to suss out who the murderer was! Moreover, though Pitt is the lead investigator, the whole novel focused more on Charlotte and Emily, which I found kind of irritating. I think I'd like more of a balance. Also, I found 85% of the characters to be totally worthless or worse than that. I guess I prefer there to be more redeeming characteristics, even among a list of possible suspects. They were all so dreadful! The only tolerable characters were Charlotte, Thomas, possibly Emily (although she irritates me), Vespasia, and Lettitia. I just found myself irritated by some of the high society conversations and by Thomas being such a minor character in the book. I didn't know who the murderer was, at all! It was a total surprise to me!
