The story is humorous, but also gets bogged down a lot with the science and tech piece. It took a bit to get into, but I was fully invested. I definitely liked Will Wheaton’s narration.

first off bonus points for all the agatha christie mentions

LOVED the prose and all the math/science explanations throughout the book. different from any other thriller i’ve read but very engaging and a quick read for the length of the book
