Should have been titled 'The Plod'

3.5 - rounding up

Fans of The Perfect Marriage would probably love this one!
Overall, I thought this was a fun story, but I did struggle with the slow pacing of the story. This is one I found myself putting down a lot. I was intrigued, but things took a while to get going. Overall, a fun story.

Very good characterization
