I accidentally started this book not knowing it was part of a series, but I don’t think it impacted my level of enjoyment too much. I got the necessary details of what I assume was the overarching story of the series.
Things I liked:
A plot twist
Trying to figure out whodunit
The characters were interesting and had interesting and unique characteristics.
Things I didn’t like:
Sooooo many names of random people. I had to keep a list with descriptions.
A whole other murder that wasn’t relevant to the main one. I think it was to place some of the suspects, but honestly it got lost in all the information.
This may be the translation, but it felt like things were over described. Especially the food, there were paragraphs describing the food.
Just a pretty slow pace for a murder mystery.
I forgot details constantly, so when they were theorizing I couldn’t poke holes in it and had to keep referring to my notes to remember who was who.

I picked up this one not knowing that this was the third in a series. I didn’t care: I could not put it down; I was making plans to borrow the first and second books from the library, and then I got to the ending and what could have been a 4-star read disappointed me beyond belief.

A well written book but ultimately disappointing. I much prefer stand alone books as opposed to books in a series that waste the finale to set the scene for another book.
