I loved the concept of a mystery within a book.
The love letter to whodunits and the affectionate parody of the genre was very fun to read.
Howver I found the first part to be dragging at times.

I loved the way this was written, a book within a book, two mysteries, and two clever solutions. Always happy to read a murder mystery.
