I don't think I've read a murder mystery with this many plot twists, all that made sense and were appropriately teased. The mixed-media format was a pleasant surprise. There were, understandably, so many names to keep track of and that did contribute to my confusion at times, but overall, this was a stellar mystery. I had a fun time trying to pick up the well-placed clues, forming my own theories, and switching suspects as the story kept unravelling.

I loved the format of this book! I’ve read a few books that offer an alternative to the usual prose and they’re always so intriguing. This was one was no different and I read it in 24 hours.

Whilst I was right with my deduction of the culprit, the journey to getting there was so much fun. Lots of red herrings and messy connections along with a real shocker in the last two pages!
