I agree that it wasn't much of a mystery but I did enjoy Amy very much so I forgave that. <br /><br />It certainly wasn't sold as a mystery here (in bookshops it was in the general fiction section) and I read it after hearing about it on a local radio show and they didn't talk about it being a mystery either - so maybe my being forgiving had something to do with my expectations?Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
