Twelve days of Murder is about these snobby, pretentious, insecure, out-of-touch rich kids that you could have sworn, throughout the book, that you were reading about teenagers, but no, They’re all in their 30s. They all have petty secrets to hide but it’s their ignorance that makes them victims of a classic trapped-in-a-manor-whodunit murder mystery. They are a group that 12 years ago liked to play murder mystery games with costumes and everything but stopped playing after one of them disappeared. 12 years later they are all invited to play again but the game is more real than they had hoped. You’re invited to feel sympathy for these people because they’re people after all…I couldn’t. Still, I do love my classic mystery setups and I liked how the song “twelve days of Christmas” was used here, creative, though the author would forget she was using it at times.
Ignorance is not bliss – it is oblivion. Eat the rich.
