The Arrangement

I actually give this 3.5, but it only lets you do full stars. It was definitely a slow start and I almost stopped reading multiple times. Some of the twists I turns I saw coming, some were a surprise, but about 3/4 of the way through it I knew the "who" at the end, just not the details of "why." Once you get through the first 100 pages or so, it's a pretty quick read. Although having so many Points of View can be a little confusing at times. I agree with another reviewer that said none of the characters were people you would like or wanted to root for. They were all very self-obsessed and not likeable. In the end, though, they all get what's coming to them, so I guess that's fair.
All in all, a good mystery if that's what you like. Just show more make it through all the boring stuff at the beginning and you'll be good to go after that. It's a long book, but pretty easy to read quickly. The chapters aren't too long, so you feel like you're reading at a fast pace. I would recommend this to anyone that likes murder mysteries. show less

Great Book. It had it all -- twisting plot, mystery, murders, psychotic killer, and some romance! All ingredients for a pageturner! In the beginning, all I can is that you know that something is really "fishy"...
