3.5

A well written and easy to read book with characters that feel very real. The 'solution' to the case was a bit of a let-down, and the ending foreseeable, but thr characters make it worth a read. At times, the narrative feels a bit forced, whether that's too informative, like a Wikipedia article, or deliberately being kept vague to make the ending (unsuccessfully) less obvious. Love the bee facts though.
