As much as I really wanted to love this book, I can't say that I was totally wowed. There were so many things happening at one time that I found it really challenging to follow the plot. While it was really interesting and unique to have the main character wake up in someone else's body on a regular basis, it made it tough to know whose story we were currently engaging with. The fantastical element was definitely creative, but overall, I found myself still dreadfully confused by the end of the book. I think it would take a couple of reads to really understand what actually happened and how the murder was solved. It was an enjoyable audiobook to listen to, but I certainly wouldn't be jumping at the bit to read it again unless I was desperate to unravel the mystery a little better.

2.5 stars
i gotta say, the immense fatphobia and ableist language pretty much soured this entire book for me.
i found the parts past the halfway mark the most interesting, basically most of the parts where things are being revealed and bishop collected concrete information. but overall this was super tedious to me, even with the reveal/explanation of the bigger picture.
