Interesting enough premise, super quick pace, less than satisfying delivery. Prime example of how moving a story to four different burners can overcook it. It’s always disheartening when women take a back seat to contemptible men who deserve literally nothing and that was 90% the vibe of this story, apart from the questionable detective work.

Admittedly, I grabbed this off of Libby as my Very First Audiobook (tm), so much of my displeasure came from the narration which was…ridiculous to say the least. I don’t think this is a book you should listen to (instead of reading), as it’s translated from Danish, set in Denmark, and inexplicably narrated by one woman doing Midwestern, Southern, Irish, and AAVE??? “accents” so…that was part of it. But, I’ve tried to keep my rating to the story and not the format I chose.

2.5/5 Sometimes I think about getting into the voice acting business but then remember that my best D&D characters always end up sounding Mrs. Doubtfire adjacent so I’ll just stick to moonlighting as a mediocre book reviewer.
