I’m no genius, a fact that can be clearly established based on my academic records and even the writing on these pages. But even I figured out the twists and the villain while reading this mystery/thriller.
I picked this book up because it was name-checked in another book I read recently, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There was an odd vibe to the writing – very British and feeling sort of old fashioned. Maybe because of this it was easy to suss out what would happen in the end.
It was a quick book to read, though, and so I guess in a way it was entertaining. I saw that there are a bunch more books featuring the same characters, but I don’t think I’ll continue this series.
Next I am reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.
