A review by kimblefairy1989
The Colour of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J. Harris
5.0
I read a myriad of mixed reviews about this novel before I read it - some people seemed to love it and others hated it. I was definitely in the love it camp.
The plot centres around Jasper, a young teenager with autism, synesthesia and face blindness. We follow Jasper as he comes to terms with a murder he thinks he committed and watch as he, in his own way, tries to make sense of events and work out what actually happened.
The only thing I struggled with in this book was the way Jasper was so clearly taken advantage of in so many ways. I had also expected, based on the reviews to be sick of parakeets by 100 pages in but I actually didn't find them that trying as I found they added to Jaspers character.
Overall, this is a very solid 5 stars from me and one I'll definitely be recommending.
