mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No

1.0

Most of it was an okay murder mystery even if slightly predictable,

maybe I'm biased but I thought the explanation of 'in the thirty seconds after getting hit on the head she developed temporal lobe epilepsy which made her into a serial killer' was kinda lazy and also kinda ableist even if it wasn't intended that way and it left a bad taste in my mouth and frankly ruined the whole book for me

Content Warnings

Moderate: Ableism

the 'solution' of this book unfortunately relied on using a real life disability to explain the murderers violent actions and tie the whole story up in a neat little bow, and writing 'oh of course epilepsy doesn't make people murderers' means nothing when you've just written a story where epilepsy has made someone a murderer
