emma's Reviews > The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels

i want every mystery novel to make me feel totally stumped and also like the smartest amateur detective on earth. so i'm not asking for much.

just kidding, i'm asking for too much.

this was formatted like a bunch of files, which was fun, except some files are by definition boring.

other than that this was a good time: is it a cult? is it magic? is it institutional failures?

the ultimate reveal on this mystery felt overly complex and disappointing, as did the ending itself, but i by and large had a good time reading this book, and i guessed some but not all.

which is more than i can say for a lot of mysteries.

bottom line: i had an okay time, and i'll take it.
