Another fun entry in The Dispatcher series. I do hope that he keeps writing these, as they're a lot of fun. It's interesting to see how the pandemic has affected the particular universe, he's always keeping these on current topics. It does make me wonder though, in 20 years, are they going to read as dated?

If you liked the previous Dispatcher books, this is more of the same but more compact. If you didn't like the previous books or world-building, then you probably won't like this, as it's the third novella set in this universe.

More enjoyable than the second book in the series, it felt complete and engaging. It’s definitely worth a try if you want a book about morally dubious characters with strong values solving crimes that are surrounded with a tone of “rich people bad”.
