The Appeal

Meaningless side comment here but what is up with the US edition cover looking like all of those poor, sad hidden romance/erotica novels found tucked ruefully away in a corner at your local B&N in early 2010's? Lol.

If that cover is all you're able to buy/or borrow from your library this is the one time I feel like I can genuinely say: Don't trust a book by it's cover. If you're into more lighthearted mysteries with a plentiful cast of characters, this is worth a read.
