Another truly fun experience like the first book. Sure, it’s sometimes so self-aware it feels like you’re part of the writing process. And the final deductions still seem to take some leaps, in my opinion, but it’s still fun and funny and the concept is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. I was so positive I knew who the killer was. The actual reveal made sense, but the fact that it wasn’t the person I essentially decided it would be on page two or so was slightly sad. Just because Stevenson does a damn good job of making you feel like you’re so close to solving the crimes yourself.
