I\u2019m no genius, a fact that can be clearly established based on my academic records and even the writing on these pages. But even I figured out the twists and the villain while reading this mystery\/thriller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I picked this book up because it was name-checked in another book I read recently, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There was an odd vibe to the writing – very British and feeling sort of old fashioned. Maybe because of this it was easy to suss out what would happen in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a quick book to read, though, and so I guess in a way it was entertaining. I saw that there are a bunch more books featuring the same characters, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll continue this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
