Especially enjoyable, cerebral mystery, set in my hometown. I was thoroughly familiar with all the locations mentioned, so that made it like a homecoming. I did not guess the perp until the last few pages, so that makes it a good one, with plenty of red herrings and false trails to keep me guessing. (
