All in all, it's not a bad read. I found the writing to be entertaining as it's a whodunnit wrapped up in a story within a story within a story. The cast of characters are different from each other which allowed the narrator to create different tones among them so it made it easier for me to follow on audio as there's more than two people at any given moment but every time that I felt that the book was going somewhere it was interrupted by the author's choice to add an additional plot of someone corresponding with the author of "a" story and that's just a disruption from the overall mood for me.
I was tempted to skip those moments and probably would have had I known where in the audiobooks it happened just to along with the other story which had me shaking my head at different moments in disbelief for some of the character's actions but all in all not a bad read.
