The worst mystery I have ever read. The authors need to “foreshadow” at the end of chapters was frustrating. The main character was a bad detective. The book explicitly spoiled the murderer less than a third into the book. Most of the “investigation” work goes absolutely no where and is boring.
The only saving grace is that the chapters were short and the prose was straightforward, so it was a fast read. Would have DNF’d it if not reading for a book club.
