After reading this I feel so annoyed lol. It was a super slow paced mystery that really didn’t resonate with me. I didn’t find it particularly interesting and just wanted it to be over the whole time I was reading. The book does have a unique plot I’ll give it that. It’s unlike any book I’ve read but it really just wasn’t for me. I didn’t feel like as the reader I could put together enough clues to solve the mystery myself. I literally didn’t know who the murderer was until the very end.
