I really loved the idea of this book, but have to admit that I didn't much enjoy the actual book. It took me two months to read it - if some books are “unputdownable,” this ranks as “easily putdownable.”

I think it's a combination of things: I'm not a fan of mysteries where the sleuth's personal concerns occupy much of the narrative, the characters all represent likeable tropes but not actual people, it's impossible to care about the murder victims, and probably worst of all, it winds up just being a mishmash of coincidental events more than it is a complex web of mystery.

I can't deny it made me laugh out loud. But the mystery was not so mysterious as I was hoping for. However, I still think it's an enjoyable read!

Nothing groundbreaking (hence three stars) but still very enjoyable, and contrary to what several others are saying in reviews here, it's not that convoluted.
