I started reading this as an ebook and then switched to an audiobook. I felt that reading it physically was a bit annoying and translated much better when listening to a cast of voice actors performing it, specially as its written out as a script. 

The story was really interesting and the plot twists totally caught me off guard, the ending was a little confusing so I had to read the ebook to understand the ending. 
I honestly still dont know who did it, haha. Though i think its implied that it was the son of the other inheritor.

This was a reread for me but I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. I like the way it's presented and think that gives it a nice little twist! It delivers especially well over audio IMO

Very good mystery. It was full of nice twists though I had a hunch from the beginning of who the killer was. Loved the writinf style. 10/10 recommend.

Pacing suffered from a slow start and a very fast ending but the chunk of the book was good. I liked the red herrings and options for the author to take but wish more of the little loose ends were resolved instead of ending the mystery with the back to back confessions that nixed the other leads!

Very fun! I adore docuseries and true crime like many and this book did such an intriguing job of trying to bring that essence to a book. I did get a bit confused and some parts were a bit difficult to follow but overall enjoyed!
