DID NOT FINISH: 16%

It didn’t grip me - stuck a little too closely to the mystery genre tropes and I got bored.

Loved it! I liked the two mysteries in one. I am not going to provide any details because go into it blind. If you like classis whodunnits, no graphic violence, good twists, etc. you will enjoy this book. Little long for a typical mystery, but it did not lag for me.

Decent mystery. 

2.5, really.

I liked the frame narrative better than the story within the story. The former was clever and engaging (if not especially believable), the latter was tedious to read and only interesting in retrospect. I guess that's kind of a feat in itself, though.

Eh ...three stars, then.
