Detective stories aren’t my genre. But this thing was incredible!!! I wasn’t sure about the format and as I said even the genre when I started but it was on our book club challenge. It took a little time but the way this story GRABBED me by the neck and didn’t let go was unreal! I stayed up till 2 am listening to it and had it on 1,75 speed just cause I couldn’t bare to not know what happened next faster!! Seriously even if this isn’t what you usually go for give it a try. This book might’ve convinced me to read more detectives stories!
