I’ve never read a murder/mystery before so I didn’t know what to expect. But the  narrator was incredible. It was interesting to be “spoken to” whilst reading and I never guessed the murderer at all. I was completely taken by surprise and the explanation of it all at the end was really fun. 

There were definitely lovable characters and the ending excerpt made me sad. But overall, it was just a really good book! I definitely will be picking up the sequels to read.

This was an interesting read but it was also a little disappointing. I was really enjoying this to begin with but then I didn't find the second half as compelling and the conclusion wasn't completely satisfying to me. There was a lot hidden from the reader which meant it was hard to figure out the solution before the end. However I did like the premise and the narrative style and I enjoyed the experience of reading a classic crime novel which wasn't set in the UK.
