ohhh. OHHH. OHHHHH.

Nothing better than a good murder mystery, and this one had so much going for it.
Epistolary format was perfect. There’s so much you can communicate through the way someone writes emails. Also a really good way to condense information and keep the pace moving fast. There’s a lot of information and events in the book and emails cut through the fat and only pick out the most important pieces.
It’s complicated and twisty, and absolutely worth it. Fucking loved this. Did not look at my Irish homework for many hours I will have to work back. Great times.
