3.5
Grade: B+
This is a two-hand book. On one hand, it is a fun mystery with well-drawn characters and countless twists. On the other hand, it is littered with racist and anti-Semitic comments. If you can deal with the "of its time" quality of this book, it could be worthwhile. But, if you are troubled by these comments, you may want to search out the newest digital edition for the "sensitized" version.
