Mehso-so

The book would have benefited from a few sensitivity readers. Hurwitz can write great prose (and clever dialogue) when his protagonist isn't stereotyping women & other cultures. As to the plot, though I mostly knew The Who, I guessed incorrectly at The Why, which is imaginative. Part of the M.O. is illogical, which is why The Who is elusive. The use of the amnesia device led to an awful lot of sleeping scenes, which made for a halting pace.

mrozzz Agree!! 6y
RaimeyGallant @mrozzz Holy crap! What are the chances you would see the review right as I posted it? 6y

mrozzz Hahah I have no idea!? Yours was the first post when I opened up the app 😁 6y
eeclayton This is off topic, but did anyone else think about the British rock band when reading the capitalised words? :D 6y
RaimeyGallant @eeclayton Lol, I hadn't realized I'd done that. Somebody should write that whodunit, where The Who is actually The Who of rock and roll fame. 6y
eeclayton @RaimeyGallant I'd totally read that book :D 6y

Okay, for some reason, I thought I was checking out a book about writing crime fic. Apparently not. Apparently this is a #BlameItOnMrozzz TBR, but I forgot it was fiction. Anyway, two chapters in, and the plot and prose are promising (if a little heavy with too-clever, compound nouns), so continue reading I will. Click the title to read @mrozzz 's review.

mrozzz Ha! Yes. It takes a quick turn there and yes the pretentious air holds but it‘s likely worth the time. Do you have the audio? 6y
RaimeyGallant @mrozzz No, a hard cover. 6y
ChiranjeeviKulkarni "continue reading I will" - I can see the book's effect on you already. Yoda, the clever guy, would be pleased. :) 6y
