Status Updates From Death at Morning House

Tbh this book is mid af but I’ve made it this far so

I can’t deal with this book any longerrrrrr. I’ve read the same event in the past timeline about the day Max and Clara died over and over, just from different viewpoints that offer nothing new. The pacing is so off with these flashbacks added in while Marlowe is trying to escape a burning building. There’s no tension or drive to keep reading because the writing is so distanced from it all

This is the least thrilling mystery I’ve ever read. I’ve gone from being kind of indifferent about it to being bored by it to now actually just straight up disliking it. I’ve had to spoil it for myself and not even the reveals are shocking enough to make me more intrigued. Marlowe is the wrong protagonist for this book I’m afraid. And that reveal of Max’s killer is literally the worst reveal in the world!!
