Slow start into this book. Trying to remember if I have experienced that before with a CS book. Wondering if it’s maybe just the shift from the series I had been reading previously. It did take me a few chapters (yikes! Chapter 6!) to connect with Charlie and Simon.

Then I found myself laughing at, “Has it somehow escaped your attention that I’m an extremely petty man?”

Placed audiobook on hold 04/09/2k26 — not sure I’ll be able to listen, but I want to try. Will edit start date when audiobook is available.

I judged too quickly on this book. 50 pages in I had figured out who dunnit. However, and my first thought was that the book was poorly written and how is the author going to spin this for another 200 pages. I did keep reading and by page 90 I realized that the book really isn’t about who dunnit.

Read in the acknowledgments provided me with some clarity on what this book is really about. No spoilers.
