A Beginner's Guide to Murder by Rosalind Stopps

3.0

The plot twists were kind of non-existent and everything was very predictable. I understand the fact that some of the characters were people of color and so handing them to the police would be kind of suspicious. But, the fact is that Daphne specifically talks abt an experience that happened 50 yrs ago which is why she doesn’t trust the police. Even so, when they talked about handing her to the police it was when they were too deep into their plan. Ofcourse this is just a book and so you need to keep it going but there are a lot of plot holes. They could’ve handed nina over right when she came into the cafe. The start is so slow that I wanted to stop reading. And then some random character dean was added in like 3/4 through the book out of nowhere so that was dumb because idek how she got out the bathroom or how dean found her. The tea spilling and her cleaning actually made me so mad like wtf wrong w her.
