Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson
3.0
Well, this was interesting to say the least. It kind of reminded me of the inevitable “recap” episode of TV comedies back in the 90s, where it basically just shows funny scenes from other episodes.
This was the book version of that. It didn’t really have much of a plot aside from copying other more famous plot lines. I honestly think this should have come with a spoiler warning, because it will ruin the endings for better books, if we are being honest here. I’m really glad I recently read The Murder of Roger Ackroyd because this totally spoils the ending.
I felt kind of harsh giving this 2 stars, so I gave it a 3 with the caveat it’s a 2.5 rounded up. I’m not sure if I’ll give the author another go anytime soon, but I won’t count it out!
