4.5
I can, however, definitely see how people could be annoyed by Grant's tendency to be sexually attracted to women at relatively inappropriate times (there's definitely sexism, though I'd stop short of saying the book expresses a notable level of hatred towards women, aside perhaps from the historical Punch & Judy story) and I expect people with only slightly less tolerance for historical details or technobabble might get bored here.

HOWEVER:
The main character objectifies every single woman he comes across, and they all seem fine with this? every single woman in this book seems determined, at some point, to make him sexually attracted to him and he constantly thinks about boobs or butts and it takes up a fair part of his inner monologue. I choose to believe that this is not how all men think.
Too many descriptions of cars. The main character seems to belive that you can tell everything about a person by what car they drive, and know what car they drive by how they behave. I do not care about cars and I think he talked more about them than the murders he was supposed to be investigating
