One big thing that struck me about how Blunt Force is how in-depth we went into the murder of Charles Foxley. We researched so much of his history, family, secrets, hobbies... if I were to ever be murdered hopefully it doesn't become a Jane Tennison novel where my life is completely exposed!
But that's definitely something Blunt Force did well, is just how much we examined the murder and how legitimate it felt. But at times, was realism neccessarily entertaining during parts of the book? Not all the time, but I still enjoyed how straight forward it almost was.
One thing I would've liked to see with the 100 pages over average this book had, would be to revisit some of the older suspects. There were some very unique ones like Justine, while others I think could've needed some more development and could've been more than just information holders.
A very solid mystery novel whodunit, that has a mix of cop plot and murder plot. If you want something to sink your teeth into and never be deterred, Blunt Force is for you.
