Even if it's quite and enjoyable read I found it quite slow and sometimes skipped pages to get to the point.
The setting, the characters are well written and interesting, the mystery is solid and there's plenty of suspects making the read guessing till the end.
The plot was well crafted and, even if it's slow paced in the first part, enjoyable and entertaining.
I look forward to reading the next instalment.
