Fuck yeah! Ahem, excuse me but I love the way this book ended.
I'm currently ignoring the pleading eyes of my dogs who are clearly starving so I can write this quick review. It took me a few starts to get into the story but once I did, I couldn't put it away.
I love a mystery that has me clueless more than halfway through. And the predictions I did come up with were way off. That doesn't happen very often, unfortunately. Along with some nice twists and turns, The Corpse Flower is also very dark. Which I didn't expect. I don't remember what the blurb said when I requested it on NetGalley, but I'm pretty sure it didn't give away anything of substance because I might not have given it a shot if I'd known what brought the killer and the journalist together.
To be honest, I see myself giving this one a reread at some point. I'm sure there are bits here and there that I missed. As well as keeping an eye open for the next in the series.
Big thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for hooking me up with the audiobook. Oh! The narrator was very good, too. Bonus!

A fine work of mystery. Hancock is able to create enough questions and twists to keep you engaged without convoluting the story.

I have to admit, at first, I was a little confused about what was going on. One, I got a grasp on it, though. It was enthralled by the story and its characters. Heloise was a great character, and I had a good time following her and trying to figure out what had happened.
