Readers who will like this: People who like mystery books that specifically focus on someone making a threat and going deeper into the nature behind why a particular statement was made.
Response/Rating: I thought that this book was a little complex as far as mysteries go with the plot and all and would give this book a 2 for that.
Question to ask before a read aloud: What does it feel like to you when you suspect that someone might be hiding something or making a threat to someone else? Have you ever felt mysterious about that?
