Eh. It was fine, but I felt like there was too much repetition from chapter to chapter. A lot of action was jammed into the tail end of the book and too slow midway through. I'd expected more to be honest.
The book was written by 20 different writers with each chapter by a different author. Knowing this the book flowed as if the book had one author.
I enjoyed this book with good character development and a nice twist at the end that wasn’t obvious from the beginning.

Interesting concept, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to care for Perry, Angel or both, but neither are worth the effort. I feel sorry for Nicky though. DNF.
I think there should be more collaborations like this!
Well...as someone who has attempted back and forth writing projects with friends before, I could appreciate the concept behind this novel. However, the end result was just too self-aware and patchy. The writers I loved already did an admirable job carrying the story along, but others...well, let's just say that I didn't discover anyone whose work I want to explore. Our PI Perry hits pretty much every detective cliche except for having a drinking problem (seriously, he even wears a trench coat), and the ending is a twist more at home in a soap opera than a serious crime novel.
Full disclosure- I skipped full chapters, and missed nothing.
The problem with all these writers, is that too many felt they needed to establish the character, instead of building on what was written before.

what a waste of all that talent. Without a single likeable character, there was no reason to care about what happened.
