The Zig Zag Girl

This is the lowest rating I have given any books at all and I do feel bad but I want to give my honest, personal opinion on it! I am a fan of Elly Griffiths and just read the 2020 Edgar Award for Best Novel of the Yr (The Stranger Diaries) and also “The Crossing Places” and gave both books a 5 Star! However the main Detective Character (Edgar) in The Zig Zag Girl was created to be such a loser of
a person I was hoping the killer would eliminate him first! No respect from the other police men who worked for him, no social life, no love life and seemed to me he was more confused about the murder investigation then anyone else. I know I may get some “Flack” from others about this review but this was not what I expected in the book!! David N.
