Evaluation: 3 stars
This book is written in plain English and is easy to read. If you are good at English, you may be able to finish reading in 15 minute (but it took 50 minutes for me to read this book…). The story is so-so interesting. I like Lenny’s character. He is a detective but a very simplistic man. It is interesting. Therefore, you reach unexpected development in the last of this story.
