interesting format and not the type of mystery i usually read. i am much more partial to the character-driven side of things than to this sort of book, which is mostly about ingenious plotting. however it was still interesting and i appreciated that it moved along quite quickly (no belaboring of the story once certain aspects were cleared up) and that the solution, though convoluted, didn’t feel cheap or unfair. again not my usual thing but i enjoyed it well enough
