Review

I was hired to proofread this book. I have worked with the author before and I believe she is aware that I review the books I proofread, but the review was not part of our agreement. If you feel that my connection to the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.

I liked the plot of this book, that the killer needed to find someone representing each of the deadly sins. It's an approach I've never encountered before in a book and I thought it was well executed. I do realize it's not an entirely new idea, but it's also not an overused one in my opinion.

This book allowed me to play detective, trying to figure out who the killer was. It fed me morsels of information, leading me to assumptions about a few of the characters. Most of my assumptions were dead wrong and I'm pretty sure that was the intent.

Overall I give Seven Deadly Sins 4 out of 5 stars because it kept me interested. - Katie
