The Green Dress

I read this book in an hour and a half! It was honestly that suspenseful!

It's pretty clear that there's a poisoner in the story, and the body count here is staggering! I hoped the first one would be saved, hoped another would be saved...you get the idea. And there's not a single thing to tip off the police because it looks more like a family curse than a targeted poisoner. I couldn't stop flipping the pages as my suspect list dropped from three, to two...to one crazed individual who's lost all control and nearly all fear of getting caught. Who's going to survive that final rampage?

The heartbreaking thing was knowing that this crime actually happened, that these folks really did die from the poisoner's tricks. Tolsma did an excellent job building the suspense and really tapped into the emotion of the story. Well done!
