Fun read, but the narrator gets on my nerves a bit - his voice feels simultaneously authentic and extremely generic

I didn’t read the first book; but I own it. This book was too slow for me so it wasn’t my favorite book I’ve read but it wasn’t the worst. A lot of build up though and being stuck on a train brings the suspense

Fun, engaging, and interesting read. A thoroughly enjoyable and fantastic murder mystery.
