It was an enjoyable read, and maybe if I wasn't fresh out of a reading slump, it would have rated a little higher...or a little lower.
The central mystery wasn't enough to keep me with bated breath, and the development of their relationship didn't have me 100% hooked, but both things had me 80% locked in enough to enjoy the read and not feel like the middle of the book was a slog. There were 5 star and 2 star moments sprinkled in there, with more of the former than the latter, but what had otherwise been consistent pacing and a good rhythm fell apart at the end, which pulled it out of 4 star territory.
Definitely worth reading, but it's not enough of any one thing for me to wholeheartedly endorse it. Jack of all trades, master of none: the book.
