I loved this book for what it is: an entertaining whodunit. This is a great read for anyone who wants a classic mystery, but wants something a little more modern than Agatha Christie. There are many nods to classic mystery writers, but Horowitz adds some modern flare to keep it relevant. This book, in contrast to its prequel, leans more into the protagonist's flaws and gives some slight character development. I thought that there were a few too many clichés and some minor plot points were predictable. Overall, I was surprised at the ending and felt satisfied. This is a perfect book for a rainy afternoon (or two).
