How to Get Away With Murder by Rebecca Philipson

Well now, this is tricky.  I raced through most of this book, really enjoying it.  I liked detective Sam, back at work after several months leave following a sexual assault at work that's been covered up.  I liked the jovial 'how to' murder book, and I was intrigued by the crime and what had happened.  I felt the pacing was good, and I could feel that we were building towards *something*...I did have an inkling of what that something might be, but I was hoping I was wrong.

Without giving spoilers, I was not wrong.

I just really didn't like the ending, and I think that reading other reviews, I might be in the minority with this!  But I was disappointed.  I get why it went for the twist, but I would have preferred a slightly different denouement.

But still, for the most part, this was an excellent read so I haven't allowed the end to sway me too much!
