i would have read this all in one sitting if i'd had the time. super engaging and i like the author's concise, but funny writing style. i liked this much more than "eight perfect murders" which i read a couple months ago, i feel like the conclusion here made more sense.
i love when the perpetrator in a mystery is revealed to be another identity of a character we've known all along, like in the decagon house murders, but it's still done in an unexpected way. i eat that shit UP
