You wanted to read the book, you were excited to crack it open, you came into it with good faith and anticipation… but you ended up dnf-ing it. Which book and why?
Mine was The Maid by Nita Prose. It was for my book club and looked like a fun murder mystery. Instead I got instant manic-pixie-dream-neurodivergent-girl vibes, and I noped out before the crime scene was even found.
I got a mystery novel, Death By Coffee, out of the library. About two chapters in, we have Dead Lawyer and the police are investigating. Our “heroine” sees Dead Lawyer’s brother go into DL’s office and trots over to question him–WITH NO PLAN IN MIND WHATSOEVER! Does not even say “I’m sorry for your loss” and I don’t think she even introduced herself. Her whole belief that she can solve this murder (which hasn’t even been determined to be murder at this point) is her daddy writes murder mysteries, so apparently she’s Jessica Fletcher once removed! Don’t know who did it, don’t care who did it–took it back to the library and left it there. It’s happy there, I suppose…
