5.0

This was a really wonderful experience. When I first started it, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it, as everything is a bit befuddled and there's a reasonably large cast of characters involved, but it's so well written I was immersed and attached in no time.

This reminded me a bit of the play/TV film "An Inspector Calls." Not necessarily for any real direct reason other than they're both examples of very unique ways to approach a mystery, but that alone must have made the connection. I'll be very excited to watch this whenever they finally get it in series form.

3.5

I think there were sime really interesting ideas in this book, but I didnt enjoy the authors writing. To start there's a healthy bit of misogyny (looking back Im not sure this book passes the bechdel test), and the ableism is fairly intense as our main character keeps changing bodies and reacts to each one. I also found myself disappointed with the ending. It felt abrupt and frankly I think this book didnt include the parts that would be most interesting.

This was an Agatha Christie novel with a slight twist, which I realised would be the twist far earlier than the author intended.

I did not solve the murder part of it though so it was a win for the author there. 

It wasnt so much that it was a bad book, I just didn't connect with it, I felt it quite drawn out, it definitely isn't my usual kind of book, but I am glad I tried it.
