Not that Complicated was an ok read. It was trying to go for this murder mystery m/m romance, small british town vibe and it missed the mark for me. The narrator felt too much like a dolt to be interesting. I think Murray was going for humor in some of the miscommunication and misspeak which is fine, but for me it was more aggravating that funny. 

The narrator had of being a fussy person while mostly denying they are fussy. The writing was easy to get through though and it felt like it might be better as a soap opera. Overall, it was fine.
