I loved all the fairy tale references and the way the characters were true to themselves. The narrative is a little complicated; even though Ophelia is the main sleuth, several other characters are followed as well, and we jump between them without any pattern as far as I could tell. That said, the plot is very clever, and I'll definitely be reading the sequel!
There were so many characters and so much going on. It was worth it in the end though. I like the way the fairy tale is tied in with the mystery. There were lots of red herrings and people with their own agendas.
