An interesting and fresh take on a standard adventuring location! Instead of burgling an abandoned mansion, the owner (and his mother) are still home, and the PC's are encouraged to get the loot by wits and deception. The adventurers can seek employment and thus get a chance to scout the location and maybe even arrange a convenient accident.

The module is well laid out, and I especially thank for the collected treasure table in the end of the book - it lists every valuable item in the mansion in one convenient table. There are even values given for the lumber, roof tiles and floorboards, if the players want to sell absolutely everything in the house! The room descriptions are arranged neatly in bullet points, so the important stuff is immediately available when needed. But because the module leans heavily on its NPC's, their actions, and motivations, I recommend the Referee to give it one thorough read-through before running it. The PDF is meticulously indexed and linked.

The adventure has a rich background, which plays a vital role in the happenings and events of the module. Thus this book suits best for a patient group that enjoys engaging NPC's and investigating locations. Unfortunately, a lot of the richness is easily lost for a more trigger-happy group. There is not a lot to kill in the mansion, so a party expecting that will be severely disappointed. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of potential for interesting encounters in there, but a lot of them require engaging the NPC's for them to be revealed.

In a nutshell, this book is an absolute bargain as a Pay What You Want and a strong beginning for a promising game designer.
