Oooh... This book sounds far more mysterious than any other murder books I have ever read... For starters, in most murder mysteries, the murder has already taken place before the book has even started or multiple murders take place throughout the entire story, but in this story, it is the first thing that actually happens - and so it creates a shocking start and we have not even been introduced to any characters other than the victim and so we have no suspects, making it even creepier.
