Halloween Bingo 2025
This book reminded me a lot of Benjamin Stevenson’s novel Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. Both novels are very meta: the main character addresses the reader directly and they have distinct opinions on the writing of mysteries. Both authors manage to make murder investigations humorous. Not guffaw level, but light and amusing. The numerous footnotes assisted with that.
I did not guess who dunnit. There were a number of people on the book tour with Eleanor, all with interesting histories and definite personalities. Watching their antics kept me well entertained and I wasn't worried about the perpetrator. There are two more books featuring Eleanor and I think I might just want to read them, and not only because of the very obvious hook in the final chapter of this book.
I read this book for the Gallows Humor square of my Halloween Bingo card.
