Whodunnit? Murder on Mystery Island by Anthony E. Zuiker
2.0
This is the second book in the Whodunnit? series. I did a bit of looking around and it seems like it is the last book as of the time of this review. I listened to the audiobook of the first Whodunnit? Murder in Mystery Manor in October of this year. I gave it top stars. 5 out of 5.
In this second audiobook, Giles the perfect English butler finds himself in yet another evil plot to kill off 8 people in a game of life and death. But this time it is taking place on a small tropical island. Giles is forced by an anonymous killer to assist the contestants in playing the game to save his own life and the lives of the other resort staff members.
Don't worry there will not be any spoilers here at all.
In this second book, Giles mentions several time this is the third time he has gone through this situation. Say what?! This is book two. What third time? In book one that was the first time. Did I miss something. I have looked and this IS book TWO! Why would the author write that if there wasn't a third time. I knocked one whole star for that. Totally confusing!
The narrator was AMAZING and carried the story extremely well. I think I was just not into this one. I know this might seems silly to say but this audiobook seemed darker than the first one. I know there are people dropping dead in every single chapter but still. There was a deep depression throughout this book that the other book did not have.
The first book seemed like a game. More like the CLUE game board and this one was more or less like a horror story. Not funny at all! And yes there are moments when the author makes a joke or two. This one was not really my cup of tea.
