I love the eclecticness of the characters in the novels and how they fit into the storyline without that formula feel to the mystery.

It led the reader to what seemed to be an obvious conclusion, only to have it turn out to be totally different and unexpected. Definately a fun read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
