This 10 hour audio book felt like a 5 hour one! I was entertained every minute, so the time flew by. I struggle to find mystery and thriller books I enjoy — but I really enjoyed how meta this book was!

What an interesting mystery! I really enjoyed the unique style of this book. The narration is fresh and keeps you excited for the next chapter. I highly recommend this book if you like a good mystery that surrounds interesting and sympathetic characters.

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!
