Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free eARC in return for an honest review.
Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this one.
It was definitely not the book I was expecting to read when I requested this book. I expected a, closed-room, Agatha Christie-like cosy crime book. This was not that. Far from it actually and I think the book would benefit from a change in publicity.
The writing became comfortable to me (a non-native speaker) after reading for a bit, but I definitely sometimes still got lost in the lengthy descriptions of places and people. The introduction of the book felt all together too long for me, as I almost gave up reading. In the end, the way the story is set up works really well, but while reading it made for a very confusing experience.
Again, I think this book would definitely benefit from a change in description. This book will definitely appeal to a lot of readers, but it was a miss for me.
