What an interesting mystery! I really enjoyed the unique style of this book. The narration is fresh and keeps you excited for the next chapter. I highly recommend this book if you like a good mystery that surrounds interesting and sympathetic characters.

I had so much fun with this! I haven’t read a murder mystery moment in a MINUTE (like a sherlock Holmes book back in 6th grade??) so this was just a really interesting and unique way to dive into this genre. At times the fourth wall breaking was a bit much for me and I also found some of the plot points focused in the past confusing or overdone, but overall a very fun and entertaining time and I’m excited for the sequel.

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.

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!
