2.0

Overly long, but I cheered when

the groom bit the dust

. I think the mystery was....fine. The killer was.....fine. The real strength was probably in the differentiation of the character voices and a satisfyingly bleak portrait of

rich male privilege and the horrors of boarding school boy's club.

I probably won't remember this mystery much longer, but it was fine all around

(Listened to the audiobook version and the two voice actors doing the cast's voices/accents were fantastic! So many different styles!)
