A Pick-It-For-Me Challenge recommendation.
Another gem of a book I would not have read, if it was not recommended to me for this challenge.

I really enjoyed this book. It had elements of mystery, comedy, romance, and intrigue and it was also brillianty translated by Lucia Graves. Now I can't wait to read "The Angel's Game".

Oh, just read it! :-D
