Whodunnit? Who gave this movie a mediocre score? Was it Jordan? She’s known to be a lover of mystery novels and could she not bear to see her beloved tarnished on the big screen? Or was it Emily? Bored by the thought of puzzling out a riddle and craving a different kind of storytelling? The answer, much like the book’s ending, may surprise you.
