3.5

3,5⭐ mainly because the interesting bit only started around halfway through the book
Otherwise the mystery was interesting, the characters were nice (I was happy there was no romance, the detective had me scared for a second there), and it kept me very entertained!
I didn't read it in one go so the different characters had me confused a bit but I think I wouldn't have had this problem if I had just read the book with no break in the middle
