Dig Two Graves by Gretchen McNeil
- Loveable characters? No
3.5
this was fun!! i enjoyed reading it and i do love the murder swapping plot (i wish it was a common trope rather than specifically referencing strangers on a train bc i enjoyed it here and in you owe me a murder). the twist at the end first seemed kinda unbelievable but it was still fun. which is what matters.
however i did kind of have issues with the characters. neve was in turns fun and annoying (i liked her sometimes? but she acted like a 15 yr old not a 17 yr old). inara's unexplained refusal to use "i" and "you" got on my nerves. like what was the point of it at all....? i did not like how much lying about sexual harassment there was (from both diane and javier). and charlotte...i could not STAND charlotte. why was she so cryptic all the time? i would have liked her to at least say ONE useful thing to neve.
overall those kinda cancel out and average to a mediocre 3 stars. so if you don't care about annoying characters and like fun murder plots you will enjoy this!!
