Reviews

A murder mystery?

by rogerco on Fri 28th Nov 2025.

Enjoyable read although sometimes difficult to keep track of who was who from the names. Each chapter jumps in the timeline and the character's voice - ("keep up at the back") which could make it confusing if you pause reading for a few days.

At about 80% I felt that I was starting to know what happened and who did it but I couldn't quite put it into words until much closer to the end. Which was good and satisfying.
