This book was unlike any murder mystery I have ever read. From the fist page I knew the authorial style was distinctly unique, almost very blunt about everything, and it is written from the perspective of not the detective, but a crime reporter who had relation to one of the victims. I won't go into it loads, but the twist was also unlike any other, in that it did not conform to the format of a traditional crime novel twist, and was ultimately a twist in how little of a twist it was. The mystery itself was build up so well wheres I found the motives in the end a little flat, therefore affecting the overall rating. I'd lastly mention that this is not one for the faint hearted, with numerous TW's.
