This is one of the few I was sure I HADN'T read as a teen, because of the unique setting. The mystery was very good here, I just wish I hadn't tried to read this one on audio because it made all the characters and detailed lists of possible clues hard to track.
Not a favorite for me, just because of the character arc side of things, but recommended to read once if you enjoy mysteries.

I would have preferred it if the murderer was an actual giant wasp à la Doctor Who but eh, c’est la vie.

What stood out to be about this story: low stakes, excellent cartoonish characters* (much more fun than the usual brooding suspects!), mediocre pacing, a bizarre act three murder and a conclusion so nonsensical that I accepted it because I couldn't keep track of all the convoluted clues and unlikely solutions!
