Tess M. (duplica123) - , reviewed on 10/9/2013 + 150 more book reviews

hmmm. I don't know if I liked this one or not. It kept me engrossed for sure. It wasn't an action packed book, but it was very interesting. I liked the way the murdered worked, and the detective's synaesthesia shows some interesting potential to solve later mysteries.
The bad thing is that I couldn't remember his name for more than a minute - the man himself was pretty unmemorable to me. I didn't like his constant quoting from classical works, either. I think this must be a British thing, though, because many books I've read have the characters throwing around appropriate quotations and other characters getting the reference.
I also am not sure how much I liked knowing the murderer. I found her methods fascinating and she was definitely creepy, but her motive was too easy to see.
My final dislike is that I guessed how it would end about halfway through
