It's been a long time since I have read a decent mystery. I loved this book. It felt like a novelization of the game clue. I couldn't put it down once it took off. I didn't realize it was a series when I picked it up and now I look forward to the next books in the series.

Book Talk Fail.

I decided to read this book because many of the YouTubers I follow and watch for book recommendations highly praised it.. I am also on a quest for diverse reads this year, I delved into this mystery/thriller with high hopes. Despite the enticing premise and the initial smart and witty vibe, the novel fell short of expectations. The author's frequent break of the 3rd wall promised transparency but gradually veered into pretentiousness.

While there were moments of genuine humor, the pacing lacked suspense, and the narrative lacked the anticipated twists. Perhaps, as thriller enthusiasts, we crave a bit of deception for entertainment. Unfortunately, this story turned more confusing than engaging. Although it had its moments and loads of potential, it didn't quite reach greatness. If you're curious, give it a shot, but be prepared for a mixed experience. If my review doesn’t discourage you go find this on Amazon or your favorite book sellers.
