True Crime Story

Although the actual mystery at the core of this book is relatively standard and there are occasionally misdirects that are so obviously red herrings that they might as well have actually been Red Herring himself from A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, this was an entertaining page-turner. The biggest selling points - its podcast-like structure and metafictional narrative - could be seen as gimmicky, but it worked for this particular reader. I also appreciated that not all questions were truly answered, especially concerning the relationship between "Joseph Knox" and Evelyn. Had my issues, but overall giving this one 3.5 misdirects out of 5, bumped up because I was reading it every spare chance I had.
