A fast-paced, dark funny thriller where secrets unravel, paranoia rises and chaos ensues. Clever twists and sharp humour but the different time lines made it a confusing read at times
I was pretty excited about this one, I like a humorous thriller something that does a bit of everything. So I was excited when I got this book.
It did not deliver for me, I found it irritating and boring. I liked the writing style so I would try this author again I just found the characters irritating. I couldnt get through it and I didnt want to know what happened to them.
I will give it one star because we must and one star because I didnt finish it.
Thank you for the ARC but I could not continue. I think others will like this based on what I read… I am hopeful for the author this is a hit.
So. Much. Fun…
Just who exactly is the Crowhurst Killer? A group of flatmates, an obnoxious landlord, a dead end town, a chat group, social media sleuthing galore and the odd local spree killer. Kirby Cornell, local journalist finds herself in a whole heap of deadly trouble in this murderous romp with a deftly drawn cast of eclectic characters and a fast moving plot populated with much dark comedy and quirky one liners. Compelling and just.. so much fun.
Kirby receives a Whatsapp notification from a group chat that has been inactive for a long time. The message is from Esme, an ex-flatmate, saying 'miss me?' The weird thing is, Esme died twelve months ago.
I found a lot of the book difficult to follow due to the conversations that went off on tangents about random topics, coupled with the two different timelines.
