I feel mean saying this but I kind of liked the ending with Mr Harvey not being caught. It makes the book more realistic for the time it's set in. Back then it seems to be easier to get away with it without the technology and understanding we have today.
I really enjoyed this books concept, but like quite a few i did feel that the book dragged a bit in the middle. I would recommend it to friends.

- Latest Review: "Finding the Phoenix" by Caitlin O'Connor
I loved the book, easily one of the best crime/supernatural stories I have come across. Also got to enjoy it as an improvement on the (slightly under-rated) Peter Jackson movie, which promised a bit more than it delivered.I like the book for the fact that it is unique. I have never read a book that is narrated by a dead person in heaven who is mostly narrating events on Earth as she observes them from heaven. I think it's very interesting and original. What do you think?
Some of the parts of the book are very gruesome, like when she describes her murder in detail. It's even more disturbing considering the narrator is a school-aged girl.
Thanks,
Scott
So many good characters. The villain is indeed a monster, but not one-dimensional and you can almost see some of his take on life but clearly its a maladjusted take.
