This was a very quick World Book Night read that I chewed through in about an hour and a half today. Written as an easy read, I think it would be a good introduction to boks for someone that wants to get into reading more, but might not be that confident- does what it says on the tin.
It was different to the normal 'crime' book that I was expecting, going more into the lead up to the murder than actually solving it as a case- there was no intrigue or detective. There was an interesting dynamic and good use of things like in-character letters though, which made it nice and snappy to read. The characters were instantly recognisable and well portrayed, and the plot moved at a reasonable pace throughout. An interesting story, but I don't think it'll stand out much in the long run.
