Clever, well-paced, functioning plot. I read this book in a day or two. I find a lot of mysteries kind of lose the plot towards the end and the ins-and-outs become hard to follow and bit far-fetched. But this made sense the entire time and I was satifisfied at the end. I felt like I was able to track the story and make my own predictions, but yet it wasn’t a predictable plot, it was just well-thought through. A bit steamy too without being over the top.
