The protagonist remind me a lot of Harold Fry. The book is populated with memorable characters who are all involved in the crime (or is it?) at the center of the book.

This book started off slowly but ended on an almighty high! There were so many twists and turns that I could barely catch breath. Just the way I like my thrillers. I have several of Bauer’s books to catch up on as this was my first. It will certainly not be my last!
Definitely recommend to thrill seekers and crime aficionados.

*Audiobook* humourous, provocative, beautifully read by Tim McInnerny.

This was one of the most endearing, quaint murder mysteries I've ever read. I loved the character of Felix, a man who is really just trying his best. I felt that the police were unrealistically clueless and lazy in their work, which took me out of the story a little bit, but otherwise this was lovely.

Thank you to NetGalley for this free copy in exchange for an honest review. The complexities of assisted suicide and societal approaches surrounding it seemed an interesting topic to broach in Exit; the notion of the Exiteers showed promise and I enjoyed the initial set-up for the story, however I couldn’t find myself connecting to the characters (despite obvious attempts at grace notes to endear the reader to them) and felt any exploration at complexities was superficial and bland. Maybe just a miss for me as I see plenty of people enjoying this book but I felt no compulsion to finish and no satisfaction when I did!

The pacing of this story was soooooo freaking slow. At times I drifted off (while listening to the audio) only to find not much progress had been made in the story. But, this was a good story and if you can stick with it I think you’ll enjoy it!
