4.5

Thoroughly entertaining. Lures you in with comedy and mystery, punches you in the gut with reflections on loyalty, love, and the eventual death that comes for us all. The only thing bringing down the rating for me was a bit of off-screen mystery-solving by the gang, so the reader can’t pay careful attention and figure it out from what’s presented.

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.

This was an easy and entertaining read. Some of the characters came across a bit flat for me, but the plot was interesting and had some twists I didn’t see coming. Now that the gang has been introduced, I’ll probably read the next one and see how the writing compares.
