Wry and amusing - interesting characters and a curious backstory. Overall, not sure what to make of this book - it's a novel (no pun intended) story (no link to The Ghost by Robert Harris - hope tghat's not a plot spoiler)

Only recommendation - don't read it in small bits - allow yourself to become immersed in the characters and be swept along on their journey

This was quite hard work, all disbelief must be suspended and you have to be prepared for the story to be quick and full of holes.

I think this is a really interesting take on murder mystery but it really is quite a struggle hanging on.

DNF @ 10%. Couldn't stand the writing style. If you build your mystery on 'this happened, then THIS happened, then I did this, then I did that' - I check out instantly. You're writing a murder mystery, make it interesting! Give me something to work with except for your main character telling me how great they are and all the cool stuff they did and how they're definitely 'not like other people'. So much potential that made me angry just reading it. If you like Agatha Christie - just go read Agatha Christie.

Didn't know what to expect coming but this was a very highly entertaining story which I couldn't get enough of. Highly recommend!

I Absolutely *loved* this!

The murder mystery is brilliant, the characters entertaining and engaging, the humour delightful and also snarky where required. I was so engrossed, the pages, and the time just flew by, I just did not want to stop reading. In fact I was a little sad when it was over.

Highly recommended!

I raced through this pacy mystery in two days and it was a wild ride. I had no idea where the author was taking me, but I knew I wanted to follow…..⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was definitely an excited read! The mystery was very compelling especially as the story unravels and the reader is fed information to keep the excitement alive.
