I guessed the killer immediately. Clocked that shit right away.
IMO, this book had a fair bit of overall unrealized potential, even though it was enjoyable.
Hm. I think I don't rate books harshly enough.

Anyway! Overall the story was very compelling, and towards the end I was truly glued to the page. I do enjoy a good murder mystery! I also liked the resolution, though;
One star taken because the citations were really getting on my nerves by the end and I guess I'm really not enough of a theatre nerd for this. I did enjoy myself though.

I had just as much fun reading between the lines of the plays referenced at any given point as I did to fighting to solve the mystery. If you have ever loved a Shakespeare character and want the chance to fall in love with 7 new ones, this book must make it onto your list.

A love letter to Shakespeare obsessors, tormented queers, and emotionally unwell theatre kids.
for fans of the marauders, any Shakespeare play, dead poets society, and dark academia <3
