If you liked his first Ernest Cunningham book, you'll definitely like this one. This book was very meta, as to be expected but he does such a great job with that. His clues are absurd but very smart and when the killer(s?) were revealed, he definitely set it up well and it seemed so obvious with hindsight, but in the best way possible.

I took a quarter point off because
it didn't make sense for him to jump off the train and chase after Lisa, especially since he knew she didn't do it? Like it was to get her to go back but also it was SO INCREDIBLY STUPID that it actually pulled me out for a minute
