### My Review
I'm happy I didn't let some bad reviews prevent me from listening to this audiobook. It was a cool first entry on something that I think can be a really interesting series.The humour might not be for everyone (humour always vary a lot from person to person anyways), but I definitely liked it. Also, I loved how the main character does not want to be involved in the investigation or try to solve it.The book took a little bit to catch me, but after it did, I got invested, and had a great time with the jokes. Also took me a little bit to get used to the narration - it is a great narration that perfectly matches the book, but it was just a little bit harder for me to understand at the beginning, so I had to keep it at regular speed for a bit.Already have a hold on my library for the 2nd book in the series
