Wow this book was bad. So bad. I like British humor, I like mysteries, I like wit, but this was just terrible. Which is such a bummer, I was looking forward to reading something from Truss and the back was so promising.

For the first time ever, Target has failed me. Because this book was part of their bookclub and the reviews on the back were glowing. But it was legit the worst. Sorry Albert.
After being emotionally beaten down by A Little Life, I wanted something light. But still good and enjoyable and sweet. Choi’s Emergency Contact delivered.
