I did not vibe with this book. I found the writing odd and the characters insufferable. Parts of it were somewhat interesting, but others were a slog to get through. I felt like the author tried too hard to distract from the obvious solution with additional twists and details that didn’t really work. I only finished the book because I wanted to know if my guess was right (it was). It made me laugh once or twice, but otherwise I don’t have many positive things to say about it. It beats you over the head with satire, and the “commentary” doesn’t go far enough.

Murder mystery isn't normally my preference in reading but I found this to be entertaining & spurred me on to keep finding out who the murdered was. Everything came together really well & I wasnt able to guess who the murderer was which was great.

A solid read. A good detective story with dark undercurrents and a bunch of colourful characters. Also nice to meet a lead detective without substance issues.
