The Verifiers

After a bunch of work book-club duds, this one was actually enjoyable. Was it cliche and expected? Yes. Are there plot holes and unresolved plot lines? Yes. Is the plot, on the whole, unbelievable? Also yes. But I still found myself engaged in the mystery, and even though it's about a murder, it was such a light and easy read. The characters were charming, and there was self-awareness to the formulaic nature of the mystery, as if the author knew it was more like a silly cartoon than a gritty novel. I enjoy books with NYC as the setting now that I know all the neighborhoods, and I can appreciate a plot line that revolves around dating apps, as I have my own wealth of experience! (RIP) So overall, it was a fun read!
