You can easily breeze through it, fast reading and not miss a lot because Jackaby is nicely laid out, characters are fleshed out and you don't have to do a lot of deducing on your own. I know that that's not the point of many mysteries, but I sort of see this more as a fun, fluffy supernatural tale with a mystery anchoring everyone together.perpetual new girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777937766501783568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462635747209874096.post-41463666979581957992015-06-25T07:04:40.086-04:002015-06-25T07:04:40.086-04:00That does look good.

While the mystery is predictable, the unveiling of characters and getting to see into Abigail's mindset is what drives the story.
