Would you read a book about this? C'mon take a look, at least...?

About a fourteen year old girl who is infatuated with mysteries and detective books and movies. Her family is very rich but all the members in her family are sort of weird. After some time, a real "mystery" pops up when the life of one of her brothers is threatened. The killer is probably one of the brother's seven friends who come to stay with them for the holidays. This killer comes up with several original ways to kill the brother. (For example, the killer brings in poisonous wood and lights the fireplace in the brother's room with it. The windows are closed and the fire goes on all night while the brother sleeps. This could kill him, but he survives because someone breaks into his room early in the morning...long story) But the brother manages to escape every time. The police have a hard time believing that these are all cases of attempted murder (because they are very unusual) and dismiss the whole thing saying that it's just these rich people making mountains out of molehills.

If I was a young teenager it would appeal to me
Reply:Yeah, that sounds cool.
Reply:This is very good. But one thing I did not understand Is the writer really going to die?

Reply:I don't find it very believable, and the protagonist is too young unless this is intended to be a book for children.

Reply:No. But at least I looked, right...?
Reply:I liked the premise for the story, but if the excerpt you printed is actually from the book, I would close it after reading that first paragraph. Too complicated and the narrator comes across as boring and snooty. Readers form an attachment to the characters and this one does not promote a feeling of connection.
Reply:I like the premise, it's creative. The excerpt, however, wasn't as good. I think the book could begin in a different way, one that holds the attention better.
Reply:depends........ i guess it would appeal more to teenagers.
