This series just keeps getting better with every volume. This was a particularly unusual case for the TMC but nonetheless intriguing from beginning to end.
These characters are some of the most entertaining and overall best I’ve ever read. I’m still enjoying the nostalgic aesthetic of old fashioned mystery storytelling while placing it in the modern era. It’s a formula I hope continues as the series progresses. And the cases are truly thought-provoking and obviously well-planned which highlights very clever writing from Osman.
As with the first 2 novels I’m giving this 5 stars. A highly recommended book and series.
