I usually don't read mystery novels, but sometimes I am rewarded for trying anyway.
This book is a story within a story within a story, and that gives a couple of extra dimensions and a level of meta-reading that made it quite fun and refreshing to read. The solution was the one I somehow didn't think of yet (although I want to tell myself that I might have, but that is in hindsight). Funny really, as at one point it felt like I suspected everyone, including the protagonist. The story really did keep me on the edge of my seat!
