  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

The choice to include two mysteries allowed Horowitz to explore writing and the genre well, but I was rather more invested in the "fictional" mystery over the "real one", and getting the ending to the fictional one 200 pages after the last one dampened some of my enjoyment.
