" Great book -- really fun. Probably more fun for writers than non-, but still. Light and breezy, serious and violent, all at the same time. "

" A ton of very hinky characters and a lot of fun trying to figure out who is good and who is bad and why. Enjoyable. "

" Excellent; A group of mystery writers try to determine who killed the man who led the mystery magazine they contributed to "

" acutally a pretty good mystery fiction book. I was a little off in my predictions and I changed my mind about 6 times throughout. A good, everyone has a good lie who is the only truth-teller (if any) book. Kept me on my toes and interested throughout. "

" I enjoyed the story and his writing style. Also the second "bad" book was enjoyable. "

" This book began with such promise. It tells of a man who is trying to extricate himself from a violent past only to move to a community where he is involved with many people who die unexpectedly. It kept me interested until the very end. I found the conclusion quite unbelievable. "

" I really liked this book. The characters were interesting, good plot twists. Great read from first page to last. "

" I don't typically read mysterious but this book was considered one of the best books of 2009 so I decided to give it a try. Even though it was a little contrived and predictable at times, it was well written and very entertaining. "

" This was a fun literary murder mystery. "

" I really liked this author's style. I found it hard to believe he was a first time writer. It had a very dry, almost classic sense to it. The plot got a little silly at the end but the author's writing style is really sharp. "

" It's no great masterpiece of literature, but it sure is a good, fun read with lots of twists. "

" This book was very readable. Like most thrillers, I liked the journey but didn't find myself satisfied with the destination. I think that in the end, I just didn't find that I cared much about which character did what. But I'd still recommend it. This was a fun read. "

" Totally satisfying and well-written meta-mystery. Haunted. Not gimmicky. "

" enjoyed the beginning but it became a bit labored so I skipped to the end to find out what happened. hardly ever do that. "

" Good summer reading. Not too heavy but interesting. "

" It has been a long time since I read an intense mystery...BAD THINGS HAPPEN KEEPS YOU GUESSING TIL THE END. "

" Meh... mindless entertainment that could have been better had it been a little less "murder-she-wrote", contrived plot twisting. "

" Crisp writing, great characters. Doesn't go where you think it will go. A good read. "

" cannot figure out who did it~ and already half way through the book. Do not want to put it down and am not a huge mystery fan! "

" One of the best mysteries I have read. All the characters are writers and all could be the murderer. Twists and tricks with a lot of intertextuality. The protagonist's last name, Loogan is from Raymond Chandler. "

" References to Ann Arbor were fun to read. "

" This mystery is almost 'noir' in its style, and for a first novel, very well done. "

" I liked the suspense of this novel and couldn't put it down. Even better was that it's set in Ann Arbor so I could visualize all that was taking place! "

" I thought this book was sort of boring to read and rushed through it as fast as I could. I even think I might have started to read it once before and then put it down. "

" Good murder, mystery. Wasn't crazy about the last couple of pages. "

" Great debut. Set up, what I hope, is the start of a long relationship with David Loogan. I can't wait for the next one due out this summer. And the whole thing takes place in Ann Arbor, even....Hell, my name is Bo...I am hooked.... "

" A great "Who-done-it"......if you enjoy an endless cast of "Whos".....Way to many characters and the attempts to keep you guessing just end up being as confusing as rubics cube. And to top it off, the pay-off is weak. "

" Liked it, but it kind of wandered around for a while and I wasn't sure where it was going. Came back in the end though.Not sure what I think about the final halucination/vision at the end. "

" I really liked this author's style. I found it hard to believe he was a first time writer. It had a very dry, almost classic sense to it. The plot got a little silly at the end but the author's writing style is really sharp. "

" Definitely a novel and not a thriller. I really had to force myself to finish the book. "
