2 stars is a bit exaggerated, however I skipped majority of the book and still got the gist of the storyline.
While the author definitely had well intentions in his writing, it come off as overly dramatic and superficial. The whole “show me don’t tell me” is very appropriate here as the author did not show anything or leave anything for the reader to deduce or understand.
The ending was a bit too far fetched for me, especially the big reveal as it was based on only deductions and not real clues or evidence.
One of my favorite things about a locked room whodunnit is the fact that upon rereading you are able to see all the breadcrumbs the author left us while leading us up to the mystery, that wasn’t the case here.
