Rather sweet, I thought. I liked Molly, as the author intended I should, even if I didn't totally believe in her as a person. She's obviously "on the spectrum" even if it's not spelled out in the text, and in reading other reviews I saw a lot of criticism about how she was portrayed. More criticism comes for Juan Manuel, a Mexican immigrant roped into a drug ring. But I still thought it was an engaging little mystery, not to be taken very seriously, with a happy ending. I wasn't thrilled with the identity of the murderer, although I'm happy my initial guess turned out to be wrong. It was a fast read too, I finished it in a day.
