I’m not usually into mysteries but this one was fun, a lot due to its setting in Wales and seeing more of their culture as well as the struggle between the Welsh and the English. I also enjoyed the mirror structure plot, and found a lot of the backstory of different characters to add something new and thrilling. Some of the reveals about the characters were even more shocking then just the whodunit. Plus I love Leo’s and Ffion’s dynamic working together. I couldn’t guess who the killer was; everybody was a suspect, and I liked the uncertainty of that, too.
