I read this really fast which is a sign I liked it! A quick read.
Quick read. Not a great sense of place. There was a thriller component. Moderately well-written, not very original. Kind of fun.
Fast read, I liked it. Could picture it as a movie. I liked that it was in Seattle. Slow to start. Liked the side stories. Dramatic, soap opera ending but fun, active book.
A perfect origin story. I did enjoy it.
Felt like old time Seattle story. I enjoyed it, read it really fast.
Thought the ending was really ridiculous. It was a treasure hunt and the end was cheesy–but I liked it!
I liked the backstory more than the contemporary story line.
Very exciting that it took place in Seattle. Really liked the backstory. Loved the friendship between grandfather and grandchild.
I really did like this book. Would have liked to see more of the backstory. Could have been more mystery. Lots of the conclusions seemed to happen without evidence-the assumptions just turned out to be true.
I did not like this book at all. Huge slog. Weird racial stereotypes.
A collection of tropes. Some elements really forced.
This was not a mystery. It was an “adventure cozy.”
