3.0

3.5. This is the first time I knew who did it - I had absolutely no idea how, but I knew the who. I knew the who right away and I think that took some of the fun out of the who-dun-it for me because at no point did I ever even waver (it felt somehow ridiculously obvious, I know it probably wasn't, but it was so glaring that I never entertained anyone else for even a moment). It was well-written and the how was fun to find out but getting to that point... I was tapping my foot through almost the entire second half of the book because I didn't need the red herrings, I needed the explanation! Also, no Captain Hastings but that was less of a bummer this time around because at least he was still mentioned :)

Os livros da rainha estão a ficar previsíveis ou sou eu que já li muitos?

This narrators xenophobic accent was so unintelligible, ear grinding and offensive, I switched to a different edition mid sentence even though it was 1 am and I was half asleep.

3.5 ☆
I found the first half of this book to be quite slow and thats the main reason I didn't rate it higher. The first half was all about character building and setting the scene but once the first murder took place I started to enjoy the story more. I did, however, guess who the murderer was right at the beginning so I wasn't surprised when it was announced which was a bit disappointing for me.
I didn't guess how the murder was carried out though, so I found that interesting. I also enjoyed the twist on the last couple of pages.
