I enjoyed much about this book, but 2 things kept me from loving it. One, Duchess is supposed to be 13 years old, but her voice often doesn't fit. She says things that are way out of character, age, and life experience - even her rough life. Two, I predicted the "twist" almost immediately after the murder. It was the only thing that made sense. Still, there were a lot of things to like: Hal, Dolly, and Walk, to name a few.
