thoroughly unlikeable main character, the concept of the book was interesting (girl on dating app and all the people she matches with start dying off one by one), but plot and writing fell very flat

This book was an absolute delight to read. I’m not normally one to read thrillers, so this being more of a mild murder mystery was perfect for me. Note: murders still happen and details are shown, but I’m not on dating apps so I wasn’t feeling threatened by this plot. This was just so original! I genuinely didn’t put it together ahead of time of who the murderer was (not all the story was shared which helped in not being able to figure it out). I loved how the plot was organized with going back to hear about the date when it became relevant to the current story. It is funny based on how true some of the storylines are to current dating scenes. I liked the tiny bit of romance thrown in, but appreciated that it didn’t overwhelm the storyline. I can’t say much more without giving away the story, but this is absolutely worth the read! 4.75⭐️
This was a lot of fun, but there were a couple things that were a little unclear at the end.
I figured out the Red Herrings fairly early on, like one was "Either this guy is the Killer or is a Red Herring" at the MOMENT he first appeared in the book.
I liked how the whole thing turned out. I figured who was probably the killer during the scene at the bowling alley, but it didn't seem likely, so I was nicely surprised during the climax.
Very fun, really enjoyed it.

Swiped by L.M. Chilton is a bit of a mixed bag. While the premise of a woman finding herself in the middle of a murder mystery after a string of bad dates is intriguing, the execution falls short.
The humor, meant to lighten the tone, often felt forced and didn't always land. The mystery itself was predictable, with the reveal lacking a satisfying punch. Gwen, the protagonist, was frustratingly self-absorbed and her constant whining grew tiresome.
If you're looking for a lighthearted thriller with a dash of humor, Swiped might be worth a try. However, don't expect a mind-bending mystery or a well-developed heroine.
