i still found the mystery super interesting, even though i knew the story from the adaptation. this might be one of those rare cases where i would recommend the adaptation over the book, maybe? i think it might have been more fun to consume the story that way, and i definitely felt the emotions a lot more intensely watching the mini-series. the screen and acting made things more suspenseful and high-stakes imo. i had actually forgotten one of the twists, which made me gasp a bit reading it now
