kassandrac 's review for:
The Christmas Murder Game
by Alexandra Benedict
Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen for the e-arc.
I really wanted to like this book, the idea/premise sounded super interesting; but it just fell very flat for me. None of the characters were fleshed out and the story was very predictable yet beyond complicated. Since most of the twists and surprises were revealed early on there was not anticipation for what was going to happen next as you read through the story. I did consider DNF'ing this book, but I pushed through and did complete it.
Overall this is a 2 star read for me, I think the premise was great, but the execution was severely lacking.
