This book has one of the best protagonists I've ever read the thoughts of. The layers of "crazy old lady" going on in here to make you so unsure if she is or is not actually "crazy" is intense and interesting, and at times hilarious.
Plot is slow but they mystery is so covert and misleading that I didn't have an inkling on who the culprit was until the last minute and the ending was so chaotically good and subversive to genre stereotypes. I loved it.
And just for the audiobook. Beata as a narrator is DIVINE. Highly suggest listening to it as it adds a great element of immersion to it.
