khitbash 's review for:

The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart
2.0

2 ⭐️

This was kind of a flop for me. I’m a fan of the Morbid podcast and I thought I’d like getting first hand perspective from the medical examiner herself but it was almost too clinical. The writing style was weird and clunky and just felt off.

This book was broken into two parts and while I really appreciate the twist, the second half felt like an entirely new person had written it. The first half was boring and tedious and the second had too much going on.

Maybe it was just me and maybe I’d like the rest of the series if she continues with it but I’m not sure there was anything I liked enough about this one to read the next.
