"Yes, he’s my son and, yes, that reeks of nepotism, but please bear in mind that the novel was just nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for best mystery novel by an American author. What makes it special, in my opinion, is a hefty dose of something that’s been largely missing from crime fiction since Donald Westlake passed away: rib-splitting humor."

Enjoyed this

But there was something missing. I've read a handful of other books by the author and they always pulled at me emotionally. Apart from when I thought she was dead, I didn't really feel much for the characters until the end. That's not to say I didn't like them individually. Mason and Alex were two of my favourites.
