I think I would have been able to follow this more easily in an ebook or print format? Lots happening, and lots of rewinding to make sure I caught everything.

What a good book. A classic mystery set in modern times. And very meta, if you like meta humor. It knows what it is and talks about it often. A very entertaining read and a great mystery that doesn't cheat!
