This Aussie mystery was a lot of fun! Think ‘Knives Out‘ meets Richard Osman, with a healthy dose of meta-ness and a big old nod to classic era mysteries. I loved how each section was framed around a certain family member, and how the narrator broke the ‘fourth wall‘ giving the reader extra stuff along the way. I also didn‘t see most of the twists coming. Really looking forward to number 2 after seeing @Hooked_on_books review!

julesG Oh, I like your edition's cover. Mine has a pigeon and a knife on the cover. Really liked both books and hope there's going to be another one. 2mo
KarenUK @julesG I hear that HBO picked up the rights, so there‘ll be a tv show too I think…. 2mo

Piranesi | Susanna Clarke

Susanna Clarke has woven a unique story quite unlike anything I have ever read. It took me about 50 pages to truly become engaged with the story, but then I was immersed. You can‘t help but love Piranesi, and root for him. The type of book you don‘t want to read anything about before starting it. Let the strangeness unfold and eventually it all starts to make a bit more sense.

Kalalalatja I felt the same way 👌 3y
TheAromaofBooks I keep going back & forth about reading this one. I see a lot of glowing reviews, but I was not a fan of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. 3y

Entertaining twist on the #lockedroom mystery albeit with a couple of plot weaknesses. The #slowburn enemies to lovers #romantsy plot continues. A lot could be resolved if Hazard & Somerset communicated better but the reasons they don‘t make sense with the characters & their history. I rolled right into book 3 & accomplished exactly nothing yesterday. It better be epic when they finally get together. 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
