Karen's Reviews > All Good People Here

This is a complicated mystery, that Margot, as a journalist, returning home to care for her uncle, would like to solve.

But for me, I have never been more angry at an author than I am at this one.

Did she wrap up this mystery at the end? Yes.

So, what is the problem?

Perhaps it is because of how it ended. So abruptly.

It’s not how one would expect it.

Does that make her good as a writer – or does that make us as readers disappointed?

I don’t have an easy answer. Perhaps it depends on which characters we are rooting for – and, if we are satisfied with the outcome.

For me, I felt dumped.

It just didn’t seem right to leave it (end it) this way.

Especially with an epilogue in past tense, and well, I can’t tell you how the chapter prior to the epilogue ended because that would be giving it away.

So, all I can say, is that I am sincerely angry.

And, I just don’t know how else to explain it other than that.

I’m not sure my feelings matter in this.

If this makes you curious about this mystery, check it out.

(P.S. – and if this story appears similar to any real past cases, the author doesn’t own up to them. That is unusual.)
