4.5

The way this story is told immediately draws you in. Told, initially, from the point of an editor who works with an infuriating author is enough to pique anyone’s interest. Having the story then flash into the book being read over is an excellent touch. 

You see many themes and characters that feel familiar and grin to yourself, all the whole wondering if you can figure it out what is happening before it is revealed. 

This is truly a book that even if when you put it down will dance in the back of your head making you wonder if your murder mystery skills are up to snuff.
