I enjoyed this book! I did guess the murderer early in the book but I couldn't have predicted the twist. A short and enjoyed read although a tad slow in places.

This book was intriguing. I honestly didn’t see any of it coming, but I can’t seem to get over some plot holes. It’s also written in a way that made me feel detached from the characters so I wasn’t emotionally invested in what happened (I don’t think that was rlly the intention anyway). I did have quite a bit to reflect on after finishing the book.

This was a good murder mystery! It reminded me of Glass Onion. I didn’t love the characters or the writing style,  but I enjoyed the plot.

Whoever invented Saw read this and was like I can make it worse
There's a character who's racist as fuck and would k!ll a child if it came down to it, but they'd draw the line at throwing out a woman bc she got pregnant unwed which is kind of a wild way to have morals

as hard as i tried to reason it out, i couldn’t figure out who the killer was.  there is a reason this is one of the best-selling books of all time. it was paced well and executed sharply. i felt like the characters were each deep individuals, and successfully written as morally gray. the antisemitism and racism in the book is something to watch out for. it’s glaringly obvious even for the time period.
