A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch
3.0
A friend recommended this book so I immediately got it from the library and started reading because I love a good mystery. It seemed fun in the beginning, but it was really just a drag. I won’t be reading further along in the series.
.
I appreciated how the author wrapped up a lot of loose ends, sharing what happens to the murderer over the next 40 years. However, I couldn’t solve the mystery because we weren’t given enough clues. The ‘cinching clue’ happens when he reads some ledgers, but we never know what those ledgers say, so we can’t even follow along.
.
I love a good mystery, but not when the narrator withholds information. Part of the fun of it is determining “who dun’ it” along with the characters.
