I wasn't as engaged with the murder plot or the characters (Oonagh was annoying), but truth is stranger than fiction in this situation--and that part of the story kept me engaged.

She's often wrong-footed and her discoveries are almost stumbled on, but she eventually knows the murders were not what they seemed.
