A review by superdewa
Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny

3.0

I keep trying to like these books, but they always disappoint me. So much cliché. So much back and forth between different characters’ heads. So many storylines that match up too conveniently. So much silly philosophizing. So much reading of other characters’ expressions. I find myself squirming with irritation. Listening was only slightly better than reading. I long for the feeling I had as a child reading Miss Marple, Lord Peter Wimsey, and Sherlock Holmes whodunnits. I’m wondering if those books were just better than today’s books or have I changed? If anyone has recommendations for me, I’m open.
