3.5 stars. Great world-building, and I loved the mystery. But full of some really flat characters that I wasn't at all interested in.

A SF mystery, a bit of an updated noir in a sunken New York.

3.5 stars really. The best thing about this book was the setting. In a futuristic NY where there had been major flooding all over. NYers learned to live above the water, buildings with 24 floors and up are used, then they have a series of boardwalks on the water, water taxis and so on. It was a really neat world. The story itself was ok, a mystery of sorts with a lot of different things going on. The characters were ok, not completely likable, but pretty real. Definitely worth the read, though I wish I had read a physical book, instead of listening to the audiobook.


The narrator was HORRID. I looked her up on audible and I can't believe she's done 50 audiobooks. She gave some info at the end of the book in her normal voice, and was fine, if she had done that, without those horrible inflections, it might have been ok. Instead she raised and lowered her voice all the time, it was really realy really annoying. One of the worse narrators I've ever listened to. Luckily, she seems to mainly do girlie crap, so I'll keep clear of those audiobooks with her.

Shame that the book was tainted by the audio. Might have given it a 4 otherwise, but maybe not. Not sure.
