A unique murder mystery with a dark humor twist. I highly enjoyed the melancholy narrator's tone as he uncoiled the web of knotted lies that started out as a standard family reunion.

mysterious medium-paced

4.0

It’s clever and fun and a good mystery with a well-plotted ending. It was just a lot. Keeping the characters straight took a lot of mental effort, and it just felt a bit convoluted at times. The charm made up for it, though.
