srivalli's review against another edition
3.0
- I love that the book is fast-paced from start to finish. The chapters race by, even if there’s no character development as such. That made the book a lot easier to read.
- Lillian’s job as an obituary writer is unique and interesting. The tweets she posts on her Twitter handle are rather fun (she shares murder puzzles for her followers to solve).
- The characters have great potential (though be assured that you won’t like most of them except Lenny). Sadly, they aren’t explored in detail. Once we know who they are, they continue to stick to their roles and do nothing different.
- The second half is different, but that didn’t make it fully entertaining. I like some of it and didn’t feel bored, so that’s something.
- I don’t like how Lillian’s mental illness is handled. Even for a thriller, it could have been better.
- The climax and ending are a little too convenient. A certain twist, which leads to the ending, is eye-roll-worthy.
