I really liked the first book in this series so I got this one too! This one wasn’t as good as the first - I’m giving it a 7.5/10.
This book has a bit of a slow start for the first 50 pages or so because the narrator is giving a lot of background information and referencing the first book. It then picks up nicely and has various amounts of hints and clues as to who is behind the murders. Just like the first book, I give the author props for the creativity of writing a book about an author writing a book based on actual events, however, that made this book very similar to the first in ways that made the humorous parts feel redone. Overall, it was intriguing and I enjoyed the book. I’m really looking forward to the 1st book being made into a tv series !
If you like crime style novels you’d likely enjoy this book !
