What I can tell you is that this is a murder mystery wherein you are provided texts, emails, and other bits of evidence for the case and are basically meant to solve it alongside the two young lawyers, Femi and Charlotte. I loved how this book was written *so* much. I'm nosey, so I loved the feel of reading people's emails and snooping around their shit. Plus, I really enjoyed actively trying to solve the mystery. I broke my tabs out, I got out my pen and my journal, and got to work. I simply had the best time. I can't BELIEVE that this is a debut novel. This author is a total auto-buy for me from here on out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Wow, what a whopper of a crime book done well. Beyond ‘well’ in fact, it was exceptionally written. This is something I have not seen in a modern crime book before, and I have read quite a few. No real in face dialogue, there is only emails, texts and documents. It was so refreshing to read, and definitely kept me guessing until the very end. Honestly probably my new top 5 read of 2021. So so so good, go read it.
