Page turner, although for me, not as much of a page turner as And the Mountains Echoed.
Whether deliberately or not, there was a lot of "echoing" in this book as well; the protagonist, in his investigation, visited the same places repeatedly.
Interesting to choose a poli sci professor as a protagonist.
Interesting to read a book that seemed to be a guy's book.
Two escapes from a window in this book.
I did think that the book dragged toward the end. I found myself thinking it could be, perhaps should be, 50 pages shorter.
Characters were not well developed, I thought; you don't learn anything about the protagonist's childhood and life before the events of the novel are set in motion.
The "mystery" surrounding so many characters tended to ensure that there wouldn't be much in the way of characterization.
