This was my October book recommended by a friend. Thanks, Julia and Andy, for the many great book recommendations you guys give me! I wanted to pick something fitting the spooky season, and this title seemed promising on that front.

This was a really fun mystery novel! I thought the framing device (the narrator is an author who writes books on how to write mystery novels...) was really fun, and of course the idea that everyone has killed someone is also a great twist. This is a book full of classic mystery themes modernized and lightly satirized. I almost (but not quite) guessed the reveal at the end, which felt pretty satisfying. I did get slightly confused along the way about who was who and how everyone was connected, but outside of that a pretty solid read.
