This was honestly such a good book. It's not your conventional crime book but really that's what makes it unique. The plot is so interesting, and towards the second half of the book it got even better. There was plot twist, after plot twist, after plot twist. But the thing is, between them you had a bit of space so you could actually process and absorb the information. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it. :) 

A group of volunteers, called the Exiters, passively assist people who suffer from a terminal illness, leave this life. The passively assisting goes awry and kicks off the plot, at times dark, funny but always respectful. It has a very British feel with a cast of eccentric characters that are well fleshed out. This is not your typical murder mystery with red herrings, but a nicely paced and plotted story that you rarely come across these days.

DID NOT FINISH: 14%

I really enjoyed this book at the first 5 chapters. Reading about the murder actually being committed really tugged at my heartstrings, though the 6th chapter immediately ruined the book for me and I lost interest. When I picked this up, I thought we would read about the police as they slowly try to figure out the culprit, as well as switching to the POV of the known culprit as we learn about his guilt, and how he chooses to deal with the situation. 

This is probably how the book plays out. 
Though one of the cops in chapter 6 guessed *exactly* how the case played out from one briefcase and now I’ve lost interest, thinking what’s the point of reading 300 pages of something that’s already been figured out by one of the cops. What’s the point of reading until Felix’s confession if it’s that far away? 

Point is, I just lost interest. Sorry Belinda.
