Rep: MC with OCD and on the autism spectrum 

The Suicide House had an interesting set up (murders/suicides in a prestigious boarding school, a secret society and a crime podcast). Unfortunately I might've expected a bit too much for its ambitious premise. 

One thing that struck me as odd was the layout of this book. A new chapter began every 3 or so pages even of it was from the same POV. This made the story seem very disjointed. There were a lot of characters and plotlines which made everything a bit difficult to keep track of. The character development was not very strong and I found it difficult to care for them especially when information was reapeated and didn't add anything new. The resolution lacked the impact I had hoped for as the motives of the killer didn't seem substantial enough nor was there an explanation for the the secret society. 

However,  I do appreciate that the women portrayed in this book weren't sexualised as they often are when written by male authors. I also really enjoyed following Rory and Lane as a detective duo. I thought that journal entries from the killer were an interesting take and perhaps some of the most compelling aspects of this book. 

Overall, an interesting premise, a slightly dissapointing execution. However, I can't say I wasn't entertained, the writing was good and I would be inclined to read another book by Donlea.
