Absolutely terrible. Full of editorial errors, awful jokes and casual isms. The worst book I've read this year, to the point it is going to the charity shop.

It's essentially a parody of an Agatha Christie novel. I had fun reading it, but I can't imagine getting invested in the series.

I've had this book on my e-reader for over 3 years and I have no idea why it's taken me so long to read it. The action centers around Adrian, an author at the end of his career who churns out Agatha Christie style murder mysteries. He delights in changing his will on a regular basis and tormenting his grown children who are relying on an inheritance. When he announces he's going to remarry, it throws the family in a tizzy and results in the family getting together in one spot which of course is the perfect set up for a murder.

The mystery was pretty good but I did not like any of the characters and did not connect with the inspector. I'll give book 2 to see if anyone gloms onto my heart.

It took me too long to read this book. It can honestly be summed up as “meh.” There were 30 pages left and I honestly didn’t care who the killer was and almost gave up reading. I doubt I’ll ever think of this book again.
