#AprilWrapUp #AprilReads Stand out books this month were ‘Meat Market‘ and ‘Autopsy of a Boring Wife‘.
A very different take on the cosy crime, country house murder mystery. We join the private detective, Elizabeth, literally, as she guides us the reader through twelve interviews to find the murderer of Jonty Caswell-Jones. Elizabeth asks the reader questions, gives them hints to background and history and summarises the facts. An immersive read, it took a bit of getting used to, but I enjoyed working it out with her.
My current bedtime read - an odd one - I wasn‘t sure at first, it reminding me of a ‘murder mystery‘ game, especially as the detective talks to the reader in asides and there are stage directions, but I‘m more than halfway and quite invested in finding out who the murderer is.
