This book was my first true mystery and first series book read of the year (yay!). I'm so used to the pacing and plot of thrillers that it was an adjustment finding my rhythm - the pacing was slower and the amount of adrenaline inducing scenarios was relatively minor, almost nonexistent lol.

Nonetheless, i LOVED the crew in the novel, even the minor characters. Everything was surprising in the end, and it wrapped up well. The characters drove the story from their personalities to their vast and unique interests. Once the plot was moving, I couldn't stop reading. This was a great introduction to Osman's novels and this series. Can't wait for the next one!
