Really enjoyed the authors writing style, very witty and graphic. However, the story falls flat with the ending feeling rushed and like a bit of a cop-out. Vibe is very enjoyable though; nice bunch of characters that help keep the story feeling fresh (although sometimes a bit confusing). Mainly, I wish the story had better pacing and a more thoughtful resolution. Despite that, overall was a pleasant read. ( )
A clever smart book, maybe too smart for me. And a bit too long. At some stage I just couldn't keep it together anymore. Glad I read it, but not a book that I will read again. I'll still recommend it for lovers of mysteries and puzzles. ( )
Easily one of the best mystery novels I’ve ever read. I loved every page but feared the whole story would fall apart before the end - it did not! Highly recommended. ( )

To my parents, who gave me everything and asked for nothing. My sister, first and fiercest of my readers from the bumblebees onwards. And my wife, whose love, encouragement, and reminders to look up from my keyboard once in a while, made this book so much more than I thought it could be.
