Finished it this last week end.
I have to admit I liked it quite a lot: especially the trick of mixing the "fiction" book with the "story" narrated, a nice piece of metanarrative, metaliterature.
And I admit I had not guessed neither of the killers - as usual!!!
Anyone else?

Started yesterday She & He by George Sand;

I've finished the trilogy - which I think is such for a selling purpose, since it is actually one long novel! - of Antonia Scott by Juan Gómez-Jurado: Red Queen, Black Wolf and White King.
Very strange book!!! But extramly well written; strongly advisable

At the moment I'm reading Magpie Murders for our group read.
Liking it extreamly! A meta mystery novel!!!
