I read this because I've liked other stories by Service. ?áFun mystery, with mysterious puzzle clues, in an interesting setting. ?áThe ghost story was unnecessary but, for the right audience, probably added significantly to the pleasure of reading this. ?áI want to play the game that the puzzles were created for! ?áI do recommend this if the description appeals, or if you're a big fan of the type of books represented by?áThe Westing Game.
