If the game of Clue took to amount of time as Monopoly, you would get this book. It definitely satisfies the desire for a whodunnit and there are many possibilities of twists that it kept me guessing the whole time. The author's ability to place the main character into different “hosts” and change his desires and actions based on the viewpoint of said “host” while keeping the the voice of the character familiar was wonderfully done. I liked the story and the idea of the book, but it was definitely a tedious read. I think it could have been edited down to The 4 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and it would have been less of a slog. I liked it overall.
