The Interpration of Murder - worth reading?

[Species8472]

I have got about a third of the way through this and am a bit disappointed and wondering if I can be bothered to carry on. Should I put it in the charity shop bag or persevere? It's OK but I was expecting it to be more gripping or something.

I'm afraid I thought it was rubbish, so I wouldn't bother.

I had to read it because it was 'nominated' at my book group. I didn't like it - from what I remember I found it hard to care about any of the characters. Always a bad sign......

I thought it wasnt great. Might be worth reading once, seeing as you have already bought it and started on it. Or maybe not.

didn't really do it for me either I'm afraid. It certainly doesn't get any better.

Hmm, thanks! It had so many glowing reviews and the premise sounded interesting. Oh dear. I'm tempted to just jump to the end to find out who the murderer is.

I can't even remember [yawn].

I quite enjoyed the second half even though I'd made a good guess of how things would end. It took me months to get through the first half though!

No, it is pants. I was very disappointed given the reviews that it had.

He must have very influential friends.

Have decided to plough on, as currently have nothing else to read whilst bf DD in the morning.

I really wouldn't bother...it's boring...and it just gets more so

It was ok but not great. Read on, by all means.

If you like thought-provoking murder mysteries, I recommend:

Child 44
The Skull Mantra

Thanks CoteDAzur, will have a look at those

Thanks CoteDAzur, will have a look at those

I thought it was rather poorly written - I agree he must have influential friends.

Didn't enjoy it at all

Like others, I was hugely underwhelmed by it. The end did come as a surprise, but the rest of the book was plodding and tedious.

Can I recommend Arthur and George by Julian Barnes. I absolutely loved it, and it has so many layers to it!

Well, I nearly finished it, but actually couldn't quite be bothered to read the last 20 pages...stupid story. Very unlike me not to finish a book. Will be taking it straight to the charity shop.
