I first heard of this in a review by The Snicket Sleuth, and I borrowed the ebook from the library.

It’s a very Snicket-y Snicket book, with the usual mix of profundity and absurdity, this time in the frame of a murder mystery. There are reflections on death and mortality, and I scribbled down a few of my favourite quotes.

I enjoyed it, but I wasn’t swept along like some of his other books. It’s fine.
