I really like that one, too! I was sold on watching the movie when I discovered Stanley Tucci was in it; I find him completely delightful. I read the book in high school because someone gave me a copy, and actually liked the film adaptation better than the book in some ways.

Then again, there was one part of the book, a tiny piece, which was not included in the film, and kind of upset me because it was actually part of the plot.

Spoiler for Spoiler About Book / Movie Difference:
In the book, Susie says:

"How to Commit the Perfect Murder" was an old game in heaven. I always chose the icicle: the weapon melts away."

Which was actually one of the lines that most stuck out to me in the book. With Harvey's means of demise, it seems that the line's inclusion would have been good for the plot, and not just filler. It would have shed a little more light on how the icicle was more karmically relevant, in my opinion.
