If Stevenson's self-aware narrator made you feel like the smartest person in the murder room, Perrin doubles down on that conspiratorial thrill. Here's a protagonist who breaks the fourth wall not as gimmick but as invitation—you're solving this together, parsing clues the way Christie devotees dissect Poirot's timing. The puzzle respects your intelligence with fair-play rigor while the family dysfunction delivers schadenfreude without the emotional weight.
