This story was unexpected. Reading the blurb I understood it was a sort of classic whodunnit but it was more complex and completely out of my comfort zone.
I assume this misunderstanding was due to the fact it was the first book I read by this author.
That said it was an enthralling and brilliant read that kept me hooked and I read it in one afternoon.
The MC is unreliable but I thought he was always damaged and full of grief.
There's a mystery and there's a love story, there's a sweet cat and there's a fascinating bookstore.
And a great story that mixes them all and makes you wonder if what you're reading is the truth or just an edited version of the truth.
I loved it and I will surely read other books by this author.
It was brilliant and I strongly recommend it.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
