The beginning felt slow and dragged out. Luckily it picked up some pace towards the end.

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.

Against my expectations, I loved this book.. i don't usually like crime stories, but this one was so entertaining to read, I practically devoured it. I loved the mix of humor and melancholy. The crime aspect was well thought out and I didn't expect the ending tbh. All in all an amazing read for all age groups (I am a good 60 years younger than the main charcters)
