I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read Benjamin Stevenson's next book in this series coming later in 2023. Cover to cover, I had a blast reading and I loved every character. They were all the same but also so different in so many ways and it was so much fun reading and learning about all of them with how this book was set out.
There was also layers of misdirection paved through the writing and each time it came up I couldn't help but laugh. Numerous times I chuckled to myself and each time I got caught out by the phrasing or narrative I just smiled - it felt so silly but so obvious at the same time!
The only thing that could have given this book a negative mark was that I did guess who the killer was, quite significantly, before the end of the book. However, I loved every single word that it didn't take away from my enjoyment at all and I feel that is something worth keeping the star for.
