The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older

2.5

I was told this was a “murder mystery” but it fell sooooo short. I didn’t care for the characters, the motives or the world building. The lacklustre plot didn’t justify the pretentious writing style (faux Doyle?), and equally pretentious style of speaking of the characters (if the story had been less of a disappointment I may have excused it but instead I was just annoyed).
