I’ve been wanting to read a whodunnit mystery ever since watching the movie “knives out”, and this book definitely satisfied that craving. The plot is a little complicated, but it plays fair. The details that are sprinkled throughout the story are believable and come together beautifully during the big reveal.
I’ve seen other reviews mention that the narrator breaking the fourth wall was “trying too hard” or “difficult to follow”. But I think it’s a matter of taste. I personally loved those parts. I feel like it added to the main character’s personality.
And did I mention that this novel is funny too? It might not be for everyone, but I’d recommend it if you have a dark sense of humor. The plot deals with some heavy themes at times, but I never felt weighted down after a reading session thanks to the humorous tone of the book.
