Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

DID NOT FINISH: 77%

---

I read a LOT of this book before deciding to quit (around 450 pages). It was written well, and I’m sure Horowitz stuck the landing plot-wise. However, after finishing the smaller book within the overall book, I had spent so little time with the characters in the real story that I didn’t care what happened to anybody. The characters were already pretty lifeless, and the lack of time with them made it so that no matter how intricate and perfectly plotted the book ended up being, I could never be invested enough to be satisfied.
