Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
This is quite a good detective story, and the dialogue consistently reads smoothly. The later parts of the novella are the best precisely because there's more dialogue and less narrative.
The narration is fairly bad. One infodump after another, but also numerous show-v-tell problems make the earlier part of the novella a slog to get through. It also doesn't help that numerous characters have similar-sounding names.
