3.5 stars 
 I enjoyed this book, it was a good story that I wanted to keep reading and, for me at least, it definitely wasn't predictable. I did find myself skim-reading over parts as there were some overly long descriptions. I had a pretty clear image in my head of what everything looked like thanks to this, but I think it might have been a good thing if some of the scene-setting was reduced and the book a little shorter. I am not jumping to immediately read the next one, but I will read the other 2 at some point fairly soon. 
 Overall, would recommend. Specifically to fans of crime and detective novels.
