I had a very very good time with this book, and I'm excited to read more from this author. I liked the characterizations, I appreciated the backstory, and I could see hanging out with these folks. I felt like the first like 3/4 were slightly stronger than the last quarter, but it felt like an older version of The Westing Game, which I LOVED when I was younger, so that was a very happy little nostalgia.
