This was my first step into crime fiction. it is kind of hard to follow for me. I think it's just me though because the story was good. Crime mystery with twists and turns and lots of family drama with a very slow pace.

I don’t know why this book took me so long to finish because I absolutely loved it! A really spectacular murder mystery that takes you on all the twists and turns but gives you everything you need to solve the case. I look forward to re-listening in the future to catch everything I missed!

The title of this book hooked me, but the humor and style of writing really sealed it, this was a great book! The narrator is an author of how to write mystery novels books. So he jumps in and out of the story explaining as the book goes on. So good!
