Would have been a 4 if it wasn't for the abrupt and weird ending.

Warning: the lead detective’s main hobby is writing dirty limericks about the people in his life… no I’m not kidding 😳

3.5 stars

I really liked the book but the ending annoyed me. This was maybe because there was so much extra stuff at the back of the book that I was taken aback by how abruptly it seemed to end. Being so convinced that there was more made for a less satisfying reading experience.

Still, this is a solid book with not a single character to root for, really. Yet I couldn't put it down. I really admire writers who can take characters who are downright despicable and still manage to deeply hook the reader.
