I thought I knew the twist half way through and I was totally wrong! the only thing I didn’t like about this book is how the timeline jumps back and forth, I had to constantly check the beginning of the chapter to see what day it was as I was reading.

56 Days is a murder mystery that takes place during the beginning of the pandemic. I found it kinda hard to rate because what was good was very good but the first half of the book was very dull. It felt like at times Catherine would use big unnecessary words and provide too much details for things that really didn’t need it. What really made the stories my was the plot twists; not only that but the plot twists within the plot twists. From what the characters were to the relationships they had with each other. Even the characters that weren’t alive had a mystery to them (who they were as people and their relationship with the main characters). Overall I rate this book a 3.75/5 stars. What was good was really good but it took a while to get good and it’s flaws ere apparent. It was fairly quotable and the last third of it had me itching to continue reading. I feel like the ending could have been a bit more detailed but overall a good mystery worth the read.

This book gave me a hangover. I couldn’t get into another book for a while after finishing. So well written and an interesting story. Left me guessing the whole time.
