The Fall by May Archer
3.0
Okay, I'm going to compare this book with Morton's books simply because I read them back to back.
Archer's writing feels better edited maybe(?) than Morton's, but Archer's writing lacks a certain fun vivaciousness that permeates Morton's books. I enjoy reading Morton's books more, but I find Archer's writing to be better...
I hadn't read the synopsis before reading this book, so the murder mystery aspect completely caught me unawares. This book deals with themes of grieving and dealing with living after someone has passed away--pretty heavy themes. I guess I also had not been expecting the grimmer tone.
Overall, I think the story is just okay--something I'd probably forget in a few weeks. I like Silas and Everett's grandfather Henry quite a bit, but everything else is just... not memorable? Quick, easy read tho.
