Not the sort of book I normally read, but I really liked it! At first I thought I would get lost with the endless barrage of information, and tbh I did a little bit, but I was able to keep up with it more than I expected. My version had a name list of many characters and a map of the house at the front of the book, which was essential!
Since I definitely missed many details the first time, I think it would be interesting to reread some time.

What a great read! A whodunnit murder mystery with a fantastical element, I loved it!

This was a really enjoyable and original time travel twist on the tired closed-room mystery novel. Loved the concept and the execution for the most part, but despite the fun, it had some strange logic--for instance, why did it take so long for Aidan to learn the rules? And how is it that in 30 years no one noticed Michael with the gun? Also a tropey villain-explains-it-all ending that kinda got on my nerves. Still, I thought it was a pretty cool book.
