overall very fun and interesting -- love a bit of chaotic time travel, especially with a mystery thrown in! definitely could have done without the fatphobia though

This starts out as an Agatha Christie-esque country manor murder mystery, but morphs into something so much weirder and more interesting, where the mystery of whodunit is almost as compelling as the mystery of what our narrator is doing there at all. I thought the resolution was mostly satisfying, but getting there was most of the fun.

This is an interesting fusion of mystery and sci-fi, blending a classic murder mystery with time travel. Although I’m not entirely satisfied with every answer, I can absolutely appreciate how much of a beast this book likely was to write, and I’m impressed the author could tell such a convoluted story. About halfway through, I was worried that the plot would get so muddled and messy that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the resolution, but that wasn’t the case.
