I think maybe I'm just in a bit of a slump and this is a perfectly good book but it didn't really grab me. As it's a fix-up novel (a series of linked short stories) there's not a great deal of development or reason to get invested in the ongoing story. 
It's entertaining, and the set-ups and solutions for each 'chapter' are quite clever, and while the main character is sympathetic he's just a little too clever and self-confident to be really likeable.
