hermusings 's review for:

Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson
4.5
adventurous dark mysterious reflective tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Honestly, if you like murder mysteries & thrillers this is for you. 
It’s never dull but not overly complex. 

It references a lot of books of its genre which I think makes the story feel more rich and grounded in reality. Although, I will say it spoils almost all those books for the sake of context and inclusivity. 

I recommend going into this book blind and enjoying it for what it is.
