If you liked the show, you'll like the book. It takes place shortly after the events of the Veronica Mars movie, which was a cool piece of continuity. And all of your favorite characters are represented. The audiobook is even narrated by Kristen Bell. On top of the everything, the underlying mystery was well staged and consistently paced. It could have driven an entire season of the show or another movie. No matter how you look at it, it was entertaining and fun.

The phrase, meah, comes to mind. It was a good enough adventure in the end, but if you're a fan of the Gideon Crew books and the Ice Limit releases specifically, this just falls short. The characters are watercolor versions of their prior representations and I was hard pressed to become invested as a reader. It's worth reading. It's just not a book that brings anything of consequence to the series. In that, I am disappointed.
