Jonetta's Reviews > Wonderment in Death

This is a clever but sinister play on the classic children's story, Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I've always felt that story was really an adult fable and Robb's version definitely falls in that category.

What works about this story is how quickly we become connected to the victims and the rapidly developed investigation. What initially looked like a murder-suicide was later determined to be something other because of the determination of the friends and family of the victims who were lucky to get Eve Dallas assigned to the case and convinced her to take a deeper look.

The connections to Alice abounded, which I enjoyed. These stories are way too short but the hints of the paranormal always help to make them more interesting.
