goodreads needs to allow like half star ratings bc my actual one would be 4.2 stars. it was very good and enjoyable but i felt i couldn’t fully connect with the characters as much as i would’ve liked

A really enjoyable read! Well-paced and a great plot. I was constantly thinking about who the killer was, and thoroughly enjoyed the twist at the end!

Anything by Anthony f$cking rocks. The pages fly by and it’s a welcome break from the day to day fast paced modern “meta” world we live in.

This is the 3rd book in Anthony Horowitz's very creative series /premise of writing as himself writing about the exploits of erasable detective. While I enjoyed the first two, this one felt forced somehow... I also figured out the ending well in advance, which is less fun... what lost me most of all though is that Horowitz has painted himself as increasingly unlikeable over the 3 books, self-centered, frustrated, needy... tons of less than engaging traits... and concurrently the narrator struggles with the many unknowns in our detective's character without seeing any more through the veil at all, stalling the process character development in the first two books.. I like Horowitz's writing but this one left me a little flat.
