The murderer still seems is obvious. Cribbage-playing "rescuer" whom Megan visits--but I'm enjoying the medical examiner/pathologist investigation. Nice turn in the Megan-Livia (victim/pathologist sister) relationship. Livia meets Megan and realizes that the obnoxious saved "Megan" of TV and book tours isn't real. Hypnotism scenes with Megan and her doctor are also very good. I'm hoping I'm off base concerning the cribbage-playing murderer, because a satisfying twist is always nice. I think we're done with the teen stuff, too, which is great. That was the weakest part of the novel by far for me.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
