The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Please join Kelly in discussing this novel, which in fitting with this month's theme of crime on campus, takes place at Cambridge University. Have fun!

Thank you for inviting me amongst your community. I am afraid to say that it is not possible to attend this meeting for me that day. Kind Regards, Cyprien

I’m looking forward to discussing this book. I really liked it however I liked The Silent Patient more.

I will start reading it soon so I can’t wait to discuss it here 👏🏽

I was reading this book when it was nominated and finished it a little ways back. Really enjoyed it. Love a school setting - can be so eerie. Hope you all enjoy

Actually I read this book last month. I did enjoy the the mystery part of the story.

I loved the ending. Completely threw me.

Great thriller! I could not stop reading it. I really liked the references to his other book & that ending, I’m still in shock 🤯

Good thriller with an ending that was as shocking as it was unexpected. Loved the classical references too.

I enjoyed this book...eventually. Quite a slow start. Got a little tired of the main character's constant "whinging" about her past.

It's a good example of a "classical detective" mystery, in which the sleuth who actually solves the murder mystery is not a professional in law enforcement or investigation, but is an "Everyman" with some personal quirks. Others in this genre include Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, and pretty much all the "cozy mysteries."

A good number of red herrings caused the right amount of misdirection, and the final twist + the solution was unexpected!

Pretty good.
