My own fault, I suppose, for not reading the description of this item properly. Probably a terrific book for the right reader. I had expected it to be a novella or short story, due to the "rapid read" description. It is rapid, given the short word count and generous font size. I gather now that the intended audience is adults with a limited vocabulary: it does meet that criteria, the action is muted (the centrepiece of the story is a murder, but the body and the crime are described in a very PG-13 manner), the sentences are short and declarative, and the plot unfolds in a straighforward, linear fashion. It's not bad, just not intended for mystery fans who are adult and completely fluent in English.
