Trust Me When I Lie by Benjamin Stevenson

lilylanie's review against another edition

3.0

I suppose there wasn't anything really terribly wrong with this, but I had just finished another book by this author that was a murder thriller but also a comedy and I was hoping this would be similar. It's just an ordinary murder mystery, reasonably well written but just not what I was looking for.

Nja, det här var ju lite onödigt att läsa. För långt, för många "twistar". Varför krånglar så många deckarförfattare till det för sig? Förstår de inte när de för 10:e gången känner sig tvungna att skriva en inre monolog om "Men var det kanske ändå så här?" kring samma frågor, fram och tillbaka, att det bara blir orimligt? Och ganska trist.
Kul med Australien, kul med vingårdar, men inte så mycket annat kul.
(Disclaimer: Jag har personligen svårt för författare som slänger in en ätstörning för att ge sina karaktärer en upp. Så även om Stevenson bryter mot lite tabun (kille! bulimi!) så kan det ha påverkat mitt betyg nedåt.)
