Ratings and reviews

Three murders in one book! Oh my God... And that too they have a logical connection based on a rhyme. As usual, the views as to who the murderer is keeps on shifting very fast based on the facts and revelations Once you feel it's Percival, once Elaine, and so on.. Really absorbing book that'll keep you hooked till the last page.

Nice....
