Strange Houses by UketsuMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
An intriguing, ridiculously far-fetched novel, using illustrations of floor plans to supplement the mystery.
I enjoyed the read, but the concept was a little too much from the beginning, so I kept waiting for new theories to emerge.
The floor plans are a great visual tool in parts, but at other times it just seems like it wasn't a necessary inclusion. Like the previous novel, Strange Pictures, this too felt more gimmicky than clever.
That said, I did enjoy following along as more clues came to light and the mystery began to reveal itself.
It's not a strong story, but it does hold the interest and keep you invested in what happened and why. If you can suspend belief, you'll get a unique mystery to entertain you for a few hours.
