It's the first book I read in this series and I found it quite funny, engrossing and entertaining.
I liked the well crafted plot, the fleshed out cast of characters and the solid mystery that kept me guessing.
It was a pleasant read but I found the humour a bit too forced as if the writer was trying too hard.
I'm curious about the previous instalment in this long series.
