4.0

Yet another very enjoyable read in the Thursday Murder Club murder noir series.  The whodunnit is again very decent, with a good amount of breadcrumbs.  The ancillary story regarding the KGB agent and crypto money launderer is a bit cringe worthy, but it kinda works in the context. The pace is a bit off but not enough to detract from the enjoyment of the novel. 3.5/5
