If I could give this book 3.5 (instead of 3) then I would. As it was an enjoyable, easy read but with that also came the problem. It's way too passive. This is in part due to the omniscient POV that for the majority of time reduces the tension and telegraphs the perpetrator.
Still, I enjoyed it for the local flair, mixture of crimes, and well written prose.
