  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

This third novel in the Marlowe Murder Mystery series, and the "formula writing" is coming through pretty clearly in this novel.  That said, the principal characters are pretty easy to like and the whodunnit is decently breadcrumbed.
