Great mystery
Liked the interaction between The two detectives. Unexpected ending, a little out in left field, but ok.
Great Read! My NEW favorite detective!
Didn’t enjoy it; rambled
I enjoyed it so much I bought the sequel to read next
Kept me interested most of the time.
A very flawed protagonist with a heart of gold. He has a brilliant sixth sense that leads him to solve the crime, but only after going down a few rabbit holes. Characterization by this author is just perfect.
good book although a little lightweight in the plot
Good characters. Some humor. Lead character is complicated. Took almost the whole book to get part of why.
Did not care for this book. I would not give it more than a 3 star rating.
I liked it, interesting and believable interaction between main characters.
A great read!
Just was not that great a read for me.
I enjoyed the story although mildly confusing. The biggest issue for me was mis-spellings, missing words, etc. Probably wouldn’t bother many yet, it bothered me. I’d go 3/5 stars yet, I’d rather give this 4 because of the uniqueness of the story-line.
