There is a novel embedded in the novel, but it is not a story within a story. The solution the MC is trying to unravel is the puzzle within the puzzle of the embedded novel of the dead author whose works the MC was an editor of.
My one regret is not noting down the characters, as there are quite a few to keep track of. But actually, I largely enjoyed it for the settings and characters – especially the woman MC – rather than in trying to puzzled out who did it. I liked having an MC who was happy in her relationship but also frustrated and struggling to work through her personal issues.
