I was a little disappointed by this book. The octopus character was too human-like and, in the end, little more than a gimmick; the solution to the mystery was far too obvious. The Kindle copy also contains some irritating scanning errors. The thing that redeems the story is the characterisation of Tova, who I adored. The other main character is unfortunately a lot less likable.
