They lost me at the degloving and never got me back. Gave me goosebumps every time his hand was discussed and the membrane under the oven mitt. I think it was probably entertaining, but I couldn't enjoy it after that. 

I did like the narration on the audiobook, a little cheeky in the side conversations and information.

addysubtracty's review against another edition

funny lighthearted mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This was an easy 5 stars for me. At first I worried it would read as almost childish with the lighthearted tone, but there was a perfect mix of cheeky humor, devastating moments, and a sprinkle of gore (that I usually hate to read but felt like it perfected the balance of the book). The mystery wrapped in the way you hope murder mysteries would - tied-up lose ends, no left-field shocks, and the perfect amount of foreshadowing that you don't feel stupid for not understanding the ending! I loved this book !!
