Reminded me of a British Carl Hiassen in many ways. Only took a star off because it was quite slow. But that was also what this particular story needed. By not rushing to the climax of the book, Osman delivers a mystery that felt real in many ways.
Please take care to check trigger warnings. As this book centers on elderly characters as well as murder there is a lot of death.

Also, I know it's a murder mystery but I wasn't expecting so much casual death. Was a bit grim at times.
