Characters were bumbling and annoying. Writing was verbose and not humorous. Couldn’t get into it.

I wanted to love this but I think it lost some of its charm in the transition from radio serial to novel.

def keystone cops vibe with many (clever) too-clever asides from the narrator. 3.5 for the imaginative and unexpected ending....
