| Poison for Breakfast by Lemony SnicketWhat it is: Part philosophical novel, part murder mystery, all classic Snicket.
Want a taste? “This book is about bewilderment, a word which here means not having the faintest idea what is going on at any given time. It is also something of a murder-mystery, in which a dreadful crime is investigated in the hopes of finding out what happened to the poor murdered victim. The person investigating is me. So is the poor murdered victim.”
