The characters were flawed but in an intentional way. It made them feel real. It helps that the amateur sleuth knew the community and the victim so well. It made for a well thought out mystery with a few suprising turns. The city of Lafayette was described in such a way that I felt like I was there. Really looking forward to the next book!

Really liked the sleuthing and the mystery plot. Plus the setting of the university and the Chinese-American cultural elements that were included in the story. The romantic subplots were however not for me.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.

I'm not in the mood for a 'boy goes to a magical school' story, even if Ursula K le Guin is the author.
