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!

This was my first step into crime fiction. it is kind of hard to follow for me. I think it's just me though because the story was good. Crime mystery with twists and turns and lots of family drama with a very slow pace.
