It is funny at times but honestly wasn't my cup of tea. But, it's got very high ratings on Goodreads so I guess I'm in the minority there, and I will say the Australian narrator was very, very good- one of the best.

Thanks--it sounds marginal at best, as I like the suspense to be at the forefront and the angsting to be secondary.
