A fun murder mystery!
Published by Allie , 2 years ago
I recently thought I'd try reading mystery novels and this was one of the first I decided to read. It was an engaging story! I liked that it was told from various perspectives instead of the detective alone, which I think made following along the puzzles more complex. It was also fun to see how the characters viewed one another and how their relationships developed over time. I'm excited to see more of the adventures of DS Harbinder Kaur. I'm rating it a little more "conservatively" since I'm someone who rates any enjoyable reading a 5/5, but for those more discerning, I believe this is a fair story.
This is an especially funny read if you are a person who keeps a diary/journal and may add that extra level of thrill to the experience!
