This feels like an episode of every police/crime show from the 90s and 00s, but not necessarily in a bad way. While it was full of the clichés you see in most police shows from that time, it didn't take from the story too much for me.
The writing is simple and to the point, similar to the main character in a way. There's nothing inherently bad about it, at least in my opinion, but it's certainly not winning any awards.
It was an easy read that I enjoyed for the most part, nothing overly complex that let me turn off my brain and get into the mystery.
I'll more than likely keep up with the series, but I won't be in a massive rush to binge through it or anything.
