I've spent years watching the show and love it so I was really interested in reading the novel. The TV Murdoch vs the novel version seemed quite different imo (e.g. in the book Murdoch has a moustache, smokes, and drinks to name few of the many differences). Even so, when looking at this novel independent of the show it is still overall enjoyable. It is a pretty fun and not too intense read but like others have pointed out it does lose some footing and requires a bit of attention to detail to pick up on the subtleties of some of the explanations. While the overall motive is not really stated I think it is a satisfying enough ending.
This book is not a particularly well crafted mystery but the characters and writing style are interesting. I'm excited to continue to read the series!
