Two detectives stereotyped from Agatha Christie and Michael Connelly should not be in the same universe but what happens when they cross each other’s path? Well, murder!
Although it took me a while to read this, I liked the pace and intrigue of the book. It was nicely written in each style with lots of pondering about what was going on. The reveal of this was clever but a little bit of a let down. However, this didn’t stop the twists and turns at the end to give it an enjoyable and satisfying finish.
