i love the premise, the murder plan of using the alphabet to choose the victims and place. this idea is very fresh and unique but the execution is not being done well.

i have high expectations since we follow from the detective perspective but i can connect with the detective especially when he uses so many French words and there aren’t any footnotes of the translation, i felt lost most of the time, and there are so many elements that aren’t being used, they just got mention and suddenly forgotten.

also, the whole plot got the answer just from one chapter at the end so it felt so rushed and mundane. although the plot twist still got me, it wasn’t as impactful as i thought it would be.

quite a disappointing read
