The Mystery of the Yellow Room: Extraordinary Adventures of Joseph Rouletabille, Reporter by Gaston Leroux
4.0
First book I actually finished this year. The story felt like it dragged for a lot of the book and there were so many characters I could barely remember everyone's names. The writing also felt like it went in circles, and it was difficult to tell who was talking a lot of the time. Whole chapters would be a journal except, but with a few lines thrown in from the narrator as well.
All of that said, if you're looking for a whodunit that's not so much thriller like so many books today are, this fits the bill. I didn't see the ending coming, but I'm crap at guessing.
While 90% was resolved, it seems there's a sequel and the door was definitely left open for it. I have not yet decided when I'll read the next one, but I assume I will when the mood strikes me.
