Book Review: Of Magpies and Men

 Book Review: Of Magpies and Men

By Ode Ray

When two corpses wash ashore the events following link two people with what seems to be nothing in common. The murder case proves the truth of bonds and betrayals of people who may or may not be involved. Jumping between points of view the reader follows through the events of strangers who live different lives but are somehow pulled together. 

Of Magpies and Men follows Benedict, living in London and Marie, living in Marseille. Two different people; Benedict, a wealthy high achiever and Marie, a nurse and single mom. Two different people, two different lives, nothing in common or connected. Or are they?

Of Magpies and Men was a very enjoyable read. The author Ode Ray did a great job of making this novel humorous and introducing likeable characters. Benedict was my favourite point of view to read, his discovery to figure out himself was very well written. 

I really liked that this novel switched points of views, I think to build to the plot twist the switching of POVs was a great touch. The written was excellent and was easy to follow even with the jumping POV's. 

The different layers in this story ravel together to result with everything tying together in the end which makes for a beautiful ending! One I didn't see coming until the very end! 

I loved the characters and overall pace of this novel, the writing was very well done and everything tied together nicely! The only downside was it took a little bit to get into it, but overall was a great read!

I gave this novel a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review! Really enjoyed this novel and would highly recommend! 

Thank you Ode Ray for the ARC in exchange for my honest review! 💜
