This was my first book by this author and I just have a feeling she’s not for me.
This isn’t an inherently bad story. However, I do not enjoy convoluted plots. And this is the definition of a convoluted plot. There were SO many characters, and many of them were simply introduced as red herrings and were mostly completely irrelevant to the story.
The characters had no depth at all in my opinion. Character development was thrown out the window for an overly complicated plot.
I had a really hard time paying attention to this book, and honestly when the murderer was revealed, I didn’t even know who they were. There were so many characters that I couldn’t keep any of them straight at all.
Also, honorable mention that the title of this book was said WAY too many times in inorganic ways.
Overall, this is just not my kind of mystery.
