Thomas T, Reviewer
a dot com Dashiell Hammett...gave this one 5 stars.
Is this a literary masterpiece to stand alongside Moby Dick and Shakespeare? Probably not, but it was aa smart, funny and enjoyable ride that came along at the right time for me.
the writing is breezy but clever - some nice succinct character work to establish who people are
the tone reminded me of Carl Hiaasen or even the Travis McGee series. Our intrepid hero has a tour bus in lieu of a houseboat
I'm not that knowledgeable about crypto or tech jargon but it's not really necessary to follow the story
what surprised and pleased me the most was the subversion of the usual detective novel formula - you think you're gonna be following one mystery but that's quickly wrapped up in the first third of the book....and that's when it really takes off
