I appreciate your not wanting to give too much away but I
judge how good a book or film might be by the
"it's a sled" rule. If a book is ruined by knowing that the
butler did it, then good can it be? Which is what makes most
mysteries work even though I rarely even remember who did
what in Agatha Christie or whoever. And another reason why
don't read that stuff anymore with detectives that are just
too precious. This isn't really in response to anything
specific and I do appreciate what you said. I did go read a
synopsis of the book so if something was going to be spoiled
I did it myself.
