jenn88 's review for:

The Christmas Murder Game by Alexandra Benedict
2.0

The premise sounded like this would be a good book - a big ol' house where estranged cousins come together over Christmas to follow clues and solve mysteries. But sadly the writing was awful. So many similes and metaphors and just awfulness.

"He leans into her like a greyhound putting its weight on someone visiting a dogs’ home."

"Like a snake whose teeth have been removed but still smiles."

I have so many things highlighted that just grated on my nerves and made absolutely no contribution to the story. I wish I had've skipped this one.
