[edit] Mystery Novel?
I question the classification of this novel as a mystery novel, so I changed the reference in the first sentence from "mystery novel" to simply "novel." Like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, this novel has a plot that involves a protagonist attempting to piece together clues, but as with Mark Haddon's novel, the dominant characteristic of the novel is the narrator's unique voice and how she tells the story, not the solving of the crime. Both of these novels seem to me to be so far outside the typical characteristics of the mystery genre that it's misleading to call them simply "mystery novels." I'm curious if others who've read either or both of these novels agree.
