An okay mystery that could’ve been better if there wasn’t so much character jumping. Some characters of course had more “airtime” and I wish I would’ve had more information about the characters that took a backseat. Also the old annoying romance trope of the “bad boy” falling for the “nerd” was so LAME and so obnoxiously obtuse that I was rolling my eyes half. Luckily, the ending was solid, unpredictable and believable, and I appreciated that most of the characters seemed to develop for the better.
