Such a waste of time! It’s padded with irrelevant, inconsequential tripe.

Caution! Very addictive
Who needs sleep when there is a murderer to find? It starts at a normal pace, and as the hunt becomes more urgent, the pace speeds up. You can’t put it down until the bad guy is collared. Can’t wait to read book 2
