Absolutely brilliant writing, fabulous character development, wonderful sense of humor! It deals with some gritty topics, but it's always a pleasure to read. Witty, intelligent, thought provoking and fun.

This was an easy and entertaining read. Some of the characters came across a bit flat for me, but the plot was interesting and had some twists I didn’t see coming. Now that the gang has been introduced, I’ll probably read the next one and see how the writing compares.

2.0

The book is serviceable. This is a not terribly challenging detective story featuring characters that may as well be paper cut-outs being paraded about in a diorama. The writing and dialogue are serviceable, although there were many times they reminded me of my fan fiction from high school. The murders aren't really solvable (i.e., like Agatha Christie); you just get presented with the solution (i.e., like A Study in Scarlet). I didn't find myself laughing out loud at all, and the pacing was very slow.
