A totally gripping, sharp, fast-paced murder mystery that pulls you into the story with unique perspectives and pictures! I could not put this book down! From the opening story about a young girl who commits a terrible crime and the analyzation of her drawing, I was hooked. As the chapters change perspectives I couldn’t help but lean in and wonder why I was being told this person’s story and how it might connect. By the time things started to really piece together my heart was racing and my jaw was on the floor!

The writing was straightforward and enticing, the characters were complicated and lovable, the plot was mysterious and scary, and the ending was satisfying. A truly fun and stimulating read! I felt like a little detective looking at the pictures and evidence and connecting the dots! 

I was sold on this book before I even knew what it was about because I looove both the UK and US covers, and the author is shrouded in mystery and seems to be an interesting weirdo, which I also love. An anonymous masked author is everything to me! Idk! I almost never buy any books brand new but I splurged on this one for myself because I didn’t want to wait for it at the library or for it to start turning up at secondhand stores and it was totally worth it. (This means a lot coming from me!)

Check out Strange Pictures if you’re looking for something fast and murderous and intriguing! I think this would be great to pull fans of horror and mystery out of a reading slump. It’s also 236 pages with quite a bit of illustrations and graphs and whatnot so it’s a quick read!
