3.5

I enjoyed this but it didn't quite hold my focus entirely. I love a good mystery, and this one had enough clue solving for my liking but it did lack allowing the reader to figure things out - I think in part as a lot of the clues were anagrams and similar things that i would need to see the text to be able to work out, and also due to the clues relating to the house and having knowledge of that. However nothing felt "convenient", or thrown in with no reason.

I think I'd have gotten more from this as a physical read but it's definitely put Alexandra Benedict on my radar for future releases!
