Eeny Meeny by M.J. Arlidge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I got this book as an advance reader copy through NetGalley.
Eeny Meeny is a a pretty great, fast-paced read. The suspense and tension is built really well and the writing is sharp and clear. Helen Grace is a hard-boiled, tough nut, with a lot of complexities written in.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The final few scenes felt like a little bit of a let-down, including one crucial piece of evidence that I’m not quite sure is actual evidence (I can imagine my former policeman father throwing the book down in disgust), but I think I’d give Helen Grace another shot (this is Helen Grace #1, after all).
