I really enjoyed it especially all the plays on mysteries of the turn of the century and '20s and '30s as those are some of my favorites. The only shame about lending it to him is that I have to wait to do a reread as I know there will be details to pick up on now that I'm not as focused on what happens next.

Oh and for the meme if you're curious, in terms of characters, I think of you as rather like Sirona.
