This mystery was simply superb! The investigation, comprised of many elements, takes centre stage of the novel, as it should. The main murder mystery has twists and turns and a satisfying conclusion. Not only is there this to keep the reader engaged, but there are a handful of mini-mysteries that Nik and Norva solve along the way. The plot was clever, entertaining, and fast-paced. I also appreciated that there was clear signposting from the MCs to remind the reader of what had already happened, and where the MCs were planning to go next. The setting of the Tri was also great, as it leant itself to having a varied cast of characters and unique elements in the mystery. I had such an enjoyable time with this book and am looking forward to reading Mic Drop.
