The side quests into figuring out familial issues is so abrupt, clumsy, and distracting from whatever this story is trying to do.

How is half of this story still left!?

We've reached the stupid confront a murder suspect without an actual plan phase of the book. Time to increase the playback speed to just get through this book.

The execution of this book would make sense if this was a translated work or English was a late in life second/third language, but sadly neither is true. Sigh!

Oh cool...casual unethical to illegal behavior by our MC. Cool cool cool

The analogies are so forced & the constant reference to the fictional mystery series a bit hacked/tedious.

Becks is cartoonishly stiff, 2D, and standoffish. Komla too.

The writing feels ... clumsy.

A little slow to develop. I might have stopped by now if it weren't for a book club.
