“I'm not much of a mystery reader, and that's what Death of a Writer is at its core, so that could account for my mediocre feelings towards the work. I picked it up for the title, kept reading it for the setting and the characters, then finished it, well, because it's a mystery and I had to know whodunit. In my opinion, it's a little uneven, with abrupt turns to dark scenes; necessary for a mystery, yes, but very abrupt and seemingly out of place. If it's your cup of tea, drink it. I would have needed two lumps. Of sugar.”
