"Invitation to Die" by Helen Smith, picked up relatively cheaply on Amazon recently, but... well, at least I didn't pay a fortune for it, because not only do I have a hard time getting into it, I just don't feel it's particularly well written.
I'm over 50% and still feel a vague curiosity about the "whodunnit" part, so I expect I'll struggle onwards with it and finish it, but it's feeling a lot like a chore - especially as I picked up the hardback of Jonathan Stroud's latest book, Lockwood & Co: The Screaming Staircase, at the post office yesterday and now it's sitting here, taunting me.
