,A mystery novel should have the element of surprise and the characters shouldn't be too predictable... cause then the story becomes boring

Exactly, the mystery was out of the window from the beginning. A bit disappointing, if you ask me.Rosemary Okoko wrote: ↑21 May 2020, 10:00 Yes the mystery was simplistic. The reader could tell what was going to happen next. This took away the mystery bit in it.

I felt the author had been on holiday to Ireland for two weeks and wanted to shoehorn that into a novel.
Most of the surprises, looking back, are the almost unexplainable behaviour of some characters to push the plot forwards, and the lack of development of key players.
