Review of 'The Murder of My Aunt' on 'Goodreads'

On the one hand, both the lead characters are (deliberately) horrible, and I saw the ending coming miles off.

On the other hand, said horrible characters are very well written indeed, and this is a very good black comedy that reminded me of the film Kind Hearts and Coronets.

So I guess if you like black comedy with well-written but horrible lead characters, I recommend this book.
