This tried to do too much in too few pages... the murder and the characters were too underdeveloped.

This book tried to do too much in 40 pages and didn’t end up doing anything particularly well. The characters so say have been friends since secondary school but there’s a complete lack of emotion when one of them is murdered. This short story tries to have a romance subplot alongside the mystery which was completely unnecessary.

  This was a quick fun read, but I wish it had been a longer book. There wasn't time for any character development or anything like that. I wouldn't have minded some spice either.
