Dev, the protagonist, is a private investigator (PI). (Please imagine me rubbing my hands together in a gleeful fashion). More on that below in my section about the actual story. Things are pretty loose and carefree on that point. Because the one thing the book insists is that she is certifiable but that she might also be a criminal mastermind. I think she was supposed to be a stark raving genius? I'm not sure. My biggest problem was the character development for one of the main characters, Kiki, who is the antagonist. I made allowances for I-started-with-the-third-book situation. Yes I just used fluffery and I just totally made it up.Ĭharacter development: this part of the book was inconsistent. His style is witty, concise and not given to dramatic fluffery. All in all, I enjoyed the author's writing style, if not his writing. My main problem was it lost momentum and hit it's rate of diminishing returns rather quickly as we shall see below. Although this is the third book in the series, I felt that the author took his time and properly set the story up. Readability: the book was easy to read in the regard that ample description was given for the scenery and characters. Since I have not read the first two books of the series, I'm cutting it some slack -but not much. I do not consider this a well-written crime book by any stretch of the imagination. I see that this was rated fairly high by other readers which puzzles me.
