I really enjoyed the meta aspect of this book, the twists and clever teasing, and I was delighted by the final chapters.

This is a book about a book of short stories that we read in between the bits of the main plot.

Did not expect to like it so much since I’m not usually a fan of short stories, but the main plot intrigued me and the stories were written well enough I wanted to know their endings as well.

I did call a few of the twists, though 2 of them at the end I totally did not see coming lol. 😄 so lots of twists to enjoy!

Genuinely not what I was expecting, 10/10 recommend if you're a murder mystery nerd (or even moderate enthusiast).

The concept is very interesting and the link to mathematics is unusual.  For me the ending seemed rushed and a little unsatisfactory but I read it quickly and enjoyed it.
