Good read! I enjoyed the fast paced nature of the book, it got to the point. Lots of sub adventures in this book, you never know what's going to happen in the next chapter! Beyond Harry's need to describe every woman in the story with excruciating detail, the main characters are loveable and fun to read about. This story ties two great book genres together in great harmony: mystery and fantasy!

It was very plotty, but the characters are infuriatingly static. Aggressively unchanging, not nearly as charming as the author wants them to be.

It’s first of like twenty books, I certainly won’t be reaching for no2 right away but maybe if I get a slump or find it in a Little Library I’d keep it in reserves.

The book was a little slow in the first half but then I couldn't put it down and want to read more in the series. There's dark humor, funny complications built-into the setting, and paranormal baddies.
