Different Class by Joanne Harris
3.0
Okay, so first of all, this is the *second* book in a series which I didn't know, so there are some things that get referenced here, previous mysteries and such, that don't get explanation because they were already explained.
But the real reason why this didn't click with me was simply because I didn't really like our narrator, a crochety old teacher. I can't say what specifically irked me about him but there just wasn't that spark and I find it hard to connect with a book when I don't connect with at least one character. Plus, TRIGGER WARNING, there was child sexual abuse that just never was resolved?? Like, it felt like it got swept under a rug, at least in my opinion.
This review gets another star for a twist I didn't see coming, but ultimately, it just wasn't for me.
