A review by rhalfie29
The Colour of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J. Harris

4.0

A really interesting concept, kind of a riff on Curious Incident but exploring 2 separate neurodiversities of the protagonist, namely face blindness and synesthesia. It's clearly a trend of the past few years to explore neurodiverse perspectives and while this can take a while to get into (the specificity of Jasper's colours and shapes can be a bit mind-boggling to process), it's a worthwhile and fresh take on a murder mystery. The book was a little slow to get going but I found once the real 'whodunnit' aspect was in gear, I was fully engaged and keen to find the answer. I didn't predict the twist and the ending was satisfying. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read.
