I finished reading A Study in Drowning last night - 0/10, do not recommend. I usually drop books I don't like but I was really into the first ~50% or so? and then it was all downhill from there.
I'm not sure what I'll read next. I've got a bunch of books out from the library but, according to Libby, three people are waiting for Who Deserves Your Love so I'll probably prioritize that one so I can get it done and the next person can have it. (I can't decide if I love or hate the X people are waiting feature on the Libby app.)
I wrote about it on my reading diary; the relevant post for why I didn't like it is here - but spoilers ahoy. I was really angry that the author posed an important ethical question that's even more relevant for a lot of readers now than it was when the book was published in 2023 and then completely swerved to avoid actually answering it. I felt like it was a cheap, cowardly, and ultimately cruel dodge.
