Death in Heels

A NEW FAVOURITE. Amazing. Stunning. Beautiful.
Firstly the writing! Simple yet beautiful. It wasn't overly flowery or super poetic but still made me feel all the feels.
Second - the mystery! It was mysterying! I did not guess who the killer was. If you think about it logically, makes sense and I even guessed that they would be involved but I thought they would be like an end reveal secret or storyline but not the murderer. I'm sad because of the motive and what that says about humans but it isn't outlandish in any way.
THIRD - RELATABILITY. Why was I brought to tears? Despite this book being set jn Ireland, I live in London, about a woman who is friends with drag queens, I've gone to a few shows but no friendships, I found that the feelings she was feeling were universal. I could relate to her so hard in the feelings. It made me sad and upset for her.
10/10!!!!!!!!!

I really wanted to like this one. Sounded like so much fun, cozy mystery set in Dublins drag queen world. A drag queen cozy and it’s Irish, I’m there, take my money.

But it was poorly written. I started thinking it was self published with all these odd sentences and bad pace and threads here and there feeling so off and ugh. And I didn’t like the characters either, our MC never listens to everyone “Huh, sorry?” whenever someone is talking to here and the fight with her roommate felt like kids.

A drag queen, walking in someone elses heels on a very rainy night slips and falls? No, that could never happen, never, it must have been murder. Okay.

I do believe there’s a decent story there but this is bad first draft that needs work. It was a mess.
