I went into Inheriting Karma expecting a mystery, maybe some crime or supernatural twist, but this book was something else entirely. It’s mysterious, sure, but not in the usual “whodunit” way. It’s like stepping into someone’s mind after everything has fallen apart. The story is fragmented, poetic, and even a little trippy. It talks about guilt, fate, and what happens when your past won’t stop chasing you. It’s weird, dark, and hypnotic in a way that’s hard to explain and hard to look away from.
It wasn’t easy to follow. The writing feels like a code at times, like the story wants you to dig through the mess to find the meaning. But there’s something addictive about that. The mood is heavy, almost haunting, and I found myself flipping back pages trying to piece together what was real and what was just in the narrator’s head. It’s got that eerie, unsettled vibe that keeps you tense even though you don’t know why.
If you’re the kind of mystery reader who likes neat clues and clean endings, this might throw you off. But if you enjoy stories that play with your head, that make you question what’s happening, this book has that in spades. It’s like a psychological puzzle wrapped in poetry. I wouldn’t call it a traditional thriller, but it definitely gave me chills.
I’d recommend Inheriting Karma to readers who like their mysteries a little offbeat. Fans of surreal or psychological thrillers where the real tension comes from the mind, not the crime. It’s strange, but it’s the kind of strange that sticks with you.
