4.0

The style of writing in conversations is quite enjoyable. Good pacing and balance between mystery and actually giving the reader the clues - predictable enough that I felt the notion of what is happening but not to the extent it became boring. A little too much of a male fantasy how all women are throwing themselves at the inspector. And a little too much homophobic language.
