4.0

While the mystery/thriller aspect of this book fell a bit flat in the last third or so of the book, I still found it wildly entertaining and quite often darkly funny, and I loved it overall. I would have liked just a little more of a creepiness factor, maybe a little more of a sinister feel to the antagonist, but that's a pretty minor complaint and I definitely got everything I expected out of this book based on things I've read from this author in the past. I look forward to watching the TV series to see how it compares.

This was a wild ride, it definitely took a turn around 75% and then the plot speed up and so many things happened. Not the biggest fan of that pacing but it was pretty entertaining.
