1.0

Much of the book is told through long descriptions by the main character. We'll literally skip past events to instead hear the mc explain what happened. It's poorly written. I don't believe the mystery was satisfying in the slightest. I regret reading this book. The ending is perhaps one of the stupidest I've ever read and I think the author thought he Did Something there. It's not profound it's dumb and pointless, just like the rest of the book. Go read the books mentioned in the eight murders instead and, I don't know, use this to mop up spilled milk?
