This had a bit of a slow middle, but got very funny and fast in the last quarter of the book. I was surprised by the dry humor, it had me really laughing in some places.

The book had potential but it was a struggle for me for some reason. I struggled to keep straight who the characters were and what they were talking about. I've never had that issue with these types of books so I can't tell if it was me or the writing style....

Very old-fashioned. I kept being shocked when Google was mentioned, because it feels like a novel from the 70’s or 80’s. A tragic hero who laments how well defense lawyers are paid, that type of thing. The story was uninteresting and so were the two detectives.
Also, please note that the writer refers to a person as “a colored woman,” twice. Published in 2013.
Not for me.

pageshifter's review against another edition
This was a decent mystery that was interesting enough. I think this had potential, plotwise this was really intriguing. I think my problem with this book was that characters were too dull. They were too two-dimensial and they started to feel a bit more alive first at the end. And it's too late. I believe the second one would be better now when characters got some depthness. But I still think they should have had more flesh a bit earlier.
So overall this was decent, but not extremely thrilling read.
