Murder mystery with twist at end. Not sure if it’s a translation thing but there were some super cringe passages. Overall just a fine but kind of meh for me book.

I enjoyed this, I liked the premise, and I did not guess it right, which I always like more. Despite the forewarning I still got confused on the surname first thing, but that's on me. This book was very fast paced if I hadn't been reading on my lunch break and had to go back to work, if have devoured it immediately. I think I would have liked a little more of an explanation or wrap up.
