A light read, perfectly suited to my otherwise taxed brain. Just when I was really starting to wonder why it was described as a murder mystery, there was finally a mysterious murder. Takes quite a while to get to that point in the story!

The main downside of the book for me is that I never really got invested in any of the suspects. They're all introduced together, and though they're distinguished by their jobs, I never felt like I really got to know any of them as people.

Yet, despite not really caring who the murderer would turn out to be - without enough sense of the individuals, I wasn't really actively trying to deduce who it might be - despite that, I rather liked the reveal and resolution.

One thing I really enjoyed was the work it put into the relationship between Mel and Glitz. On TV, it didn't make much sense to me that Mel would elect to travel with Glitz, or that he would let her join him either. It all becomes a lot more believable here, with the characters recognizing their very different worldviews and accepting each other for who they are.
