The first few chapters of this book were incredibly boring to me. Its basically endless repetition of the main detective interviewing way too many suspects. I read on though, determined to finish the book. It got a bit better towards the middle of the book and by the middle I was enjoying reading it for the most part. I will say I'm an American reader and some of the British wording was foreign to me. I was still able to understand the main plot of the book however. The ending of the book wasn't that surprising. The person who is found out to be the murderer is easily guessed before it is revealed. There were not that many twists in the book at all. This was not the best crime novel I have ever read. I do feel it was somewhat mediocre though and not the most interesting read.There were some editing errors in the book. I do not know if that is because I got this book free from Story Cartel and I was reading a version that wasn't completely edited yet.One thing I really disliked is the author mentions another book she wrote in this book towards the end. I guess this is meant to get you to want to read that other book she wrote (this is part of a series), but to me it felt like a shameless plug and it seemed to not really have anything to do with the plot at all.I will say this is the only book in the series that I have read but that didn't seem to matter. The book can stand alone and its not necessary to have read the others. This book didn't impress me that much though so I don't think I'll be reading any of the others. Overall I just feel this book is average and nothing amazing.Disclosure: I received this book free from Story Cartel in exchange for an honest review.
