Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

1.5

I was really excited to read the next book in the series but like a lot of series, this book relies too much on things which were done before. Also I didn’t particularly like this book inside a book because most of the characters in it were supposedly based on the hotel staff but the story was unrecognizable from the actual story that the whole inside story was a complete waste of time and 300 pages. I started to get frustrated about halfway into the inside book at the sheer absurdity. And then come to find out at the end that the answer was in the name of the opera and in the first pages of the internal book was a huge let down. I didn’t like this book at all. I don’t expect 100% originality but please stop writing the same book again and repackaging it as if it’s something different. Ugh so annoying also that the 300 pages leant nothing to the plot. While I am ranting, one other thing is apparent to me is that this author is extremely judgmental of people. It comes out in all his main characters and the judgy comments he makes about people’s appearances. I am done with this author.
