To say I was engrossed is an understatement - the plot was beautifully written, and the writing cemented my thought, as I was not even halfway through, that this would immediately become a favourite of mine. The author has really mastered the act of “showing not telling”, which I also think works really well in a mystery, and the main character’s perspective of writing while reflecting on the events in hindsight was something I really enjoyed.
