teeblees 's review for:
The Christmas Murder Game
by Alexandra Benedict
sooo... I read this with bookclub for our Christmas book and it was fine?
Like its a pretty normal silly Christmas mystery and it was pretty chill, but it wasn't my sort of thing because it wasn't the sort of mystery you could like actually solve?
The clues are delivered in POEMS (and I am pretty stupid so these went overrrr my head lol) but the poems are also so specific to the characters???
Like it would say something about flowers and the main character would be like 'oh its so obvious where this wants us to go! How could you other characters not guess? My mother's old room had a three inch tall photo frame above her dresser with a picture of the rare Scandinavian hibiscus lily, so clearly we must search there'
like??? everything was so specific??? It was BIZARRE
Also guys I cannot do this review without a warning about the (MAJOR SPOILER) incest plotline????? Why is nobody talking about this????? I had NO IDEA about that going in and it was BIZARRE like its between the two main villains of the story (cousins) and the main character was obviously grossed out but like??? It wasn't AT ALL necessary to the plot??? Like one of the cousins could have just as easily been married into the family or adopted instead of blood related??? Like the fact that they were cousins had NO RELEVANCE so like???? WHY include it???? idk just a heads up
