I did not care for the actual mystery in this book and I felt it was kind of obvious what happened. What really made this book interesting was the characters. I felt they were fun and complex enough to make the reader want to know more. Also, I found this book a quick and easy read.

Might have been okay but the narrator on this audio book gave one character an extremely loud and annoying voice and I just couldn't stand more than an hour of it.

Gave the audiobook 30 minutes, and was not invested in the story or characters at all.

Ovidia Yu writes some of the best character descriptions I have ever read. I was captivated by Aunty Lee’s energy and enthralled by the vivid supporting characters.
