I used to be a regular listener to Mark Dawson's podcast, but never read one of his books as I'm not a big fan of international assassin stories. His first foray into crime fiction was... ok. Not much of a mystery, as I kinda knew right away whodunnit. And you will too, should you read this. (You shouldn't.)

I didn't much care for the Holmesian, barely-on-the-spectrum protagonist. The whole pick-up-on-body-language-and-minor-particularities trope has been done to death over the past 20 years. And lots of cliches.

But I read it to the end, so there's that.
