3.0

A confusing and agonisingly over-researched mystery with a quite unsatisfying ending. Rescued a bit by a relatively sweet and sincere romantic subplot. I'm not a reader that requires their protagonist to be likeable or good, but I do like to at least get a measure of their thoughts and feelings beyond dated "no homo" jokes and distasteful comments about women. Not for me.
