Compulsively readable without being fluffy or oppressively dark, this is a well-crafted, clever, complex mystery. I love Bryant and May, especially the way they complement each other. There are just a couple of plot points that felt unnecessary and I think the book could have done without them, but overall, this was a really enjoyable read.
