A fun, easy read. I wouldn't call it gripping, thrilling, or adventurous, but it was enjoyable. The intro isn't well suited to audiobooks format and kept losing me; I had to pull up an ebook sample and reread it (I think it's much more suited to reading anyway but I was already reading 2, beggars/choosers etc). The narration is great - Neil Patrick Harris and Simon Vance - and the rest of the book was fine. 

I don't love that one of the murders relied on implicit transphobia / staging the murderer as a crossdresser sex crime.

Rolled my eyes at the totally unnecessary instalove.
