The literary murder mystery is a weird mix. The two genres slightly differ from each other, and usually don’t come together. Murder mysteries are seen as fundamentally uncultured, off-the-rack, populist and hard to put down. On the other hand, literary novels win a lot of prizes, but are only actually read by people judging prizes (who are paid to read them), reviewers (also paid to read them) and the parents of the author. Mostly, when intellectual meets murder mystery, the intellect stays pure but the mystery is so bad that just by reading the back the mystery can be solved in a matter of minutes. African Psycho has pretty weak plot twist. The murderer is discovered on the last page to be a character we have only heard about in passing, and never met. This ending is just huge let down and is very irritating. I like the mixture of the literary and the murder mystery but…I don’t know, something always seems to be missing. It is definitely funny, in a dark sort of way. It is entertaining don’t get me wrong. I just wish it was more suspenseful and that more was left for you to find out. It was very open and right to the point. Though I am assuming it was on purpose, it is showing the way the “protagonist” thinks. The thing I didn’t like the most was that this book had only a murder plot line not a murder “mystery” plot line. Over all this was an alright book the underlining views of politics and society definitely made me laugh.
