I really enjoyed this!! I just loved the way it was told. It was so engaging and funny. The mystery was honestly whatever, but one part did make me gasp because I didn’t see it coming. I can see how this might not be for everyone, but I enjoyed my time reading this. The audiobook is really good as well.

I loved the way this book was written - the narrator often talks to you as the reader which is super engaging and interesting. I also did not see that ending coming! I started out with the audiobook but being a mystery this is one that you really have to pay attention to. I kept getting confused because I was only half listening. I switched to actually reading it and liked it a lot better that way.

This was a fun mystery! The author's notes gave me mixed feelings. I like the Murder mystery. The family secrets reveal was great. I enjoyed the serial killer aspect and in the end everything was tied up with a pretty bow. Enjoyable whodunit!

A new take on golden age thrillers, classic whodunnit murder mysteries, and an ode to the “10 commandments of detective fiction” by Ronald Knox. This was a fun, witty read that kept me on my toes, never expecting what the next twist might be, and definitely unable to guess the ending. 

Listened on audiobook, the narrator was easy to understand and fun to listen to.

This was very entertaining. The narrator breaks the fourth wall and it's kind of a deconstruction of all the classic mystery tropes. I found it really clever, especially having read a lot of Agatha Christie. The mystery itself was intriguing and I found the resolution satisfying but I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much without the unusual narrative structure. There's a sequel coming out later this year and I'm quite interested to see how Stevenson will approach it.
