The Aosawa Murders by Riku Onda
2.0
i wish i could say good things about this book but sadly, I can't.
Nothing happened and everything happened.
When you are trying to write a thriller book, mystery novel, whatever, you need to give readers clues and hints, so that at the end of the book they have some kind of answer. I am all in for open endings but when book is over and you have more questions than you had at first, it's stupid.
Like, let's say we don't know who committed murders but so many things happen that make no sense and all other deaths happen that also ruin everything.
There were also so many jumps in timeline and so many descriptions of the places.
I didn't understand why that girl wrote the book; i think she herself didn't understand it.
Another thing - okay mom was crazy ( we saw that coming with the hints we got about her and her identity and about that room) but still, is that a reason to poison whole house? yeah, i don't think so.
as a result this book was big waste of my time
