Murder in the Crimson Manor is lit. Actually, I think it’s just okay, but “
Murder in the Crimson Manor is lit” seemed like a snappier opening, and obliques references the massive fire that occurs in the story. It’s competently plotted, has a decent premise, and employs some fun tropes… but these various elements don’t reinforce each other, and there was nothing that
wowed me. So while I liked
Murder in the Crimson Manor, my feelings are admittedly lukewarm.
