I thought this book was fantastic! It had a good old fashioned locked-room mystery, gruesome deaths and intrigue with nice backstories and some character development - for the better or for the worse is up to the reader, I suppose haha! 

The only reason it’s not a 5* is that the ending dragged on a little… the final monologue from the genius they involved in the case near the end was very king and at times I struggled to understand and would have to read lines a couple of times over. It explains in great detail who was involved in the murders, why and how they were committed which is fantastic but it’s quite complicated and you need to be really switched on and engaged to be able to follow every part…


Overall a fantastic book with just the right balance of intrigue, suspense, confusion, violence and romance!
