I See You've Called in Dead by John Kenney
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A quick, fun, and unpretentious read. Most of the characters are well written and interesting, with the sad sole exception of Clara. (why!?)

The book was fun and I would recommend it to anyone, but for me it didn't quite hit the emotional notes I think it was going for. The sentimentality is a little forced and predictable. At times it felt almost like the authors diary made into a book, like maybe he was working through some things in therapy and decided to write about it, but it wasn't relatable to me.

Feels like he was trying to write a Fredrik Backman novel but wasn't quite skilled enough as a writer. Enjoyable, just not the best. Still worth checking out.
