This was a nice change of pace from the usual detective/suspense story. Instead of a detective, we have Myron Bolitar, a sports agent. Granted, he *used* to be a Fed, and he has a law degree, but he’s not a cop, nonetheless. I liked Myron, though his friend Win is a little…. weird. But an interesting character.

The mystery itself was interesting, and I really didn’t have it figured out by the end. I like that! I also like the dry humor. A series I will continue with!
