    Surprisingly good! I've read "Turtle Soup" before, but those versions are quite painful for those who lack logic. This one is good for when you're bored. While it also uses "Turtle Soup" as a clue, the book shows the police putting in a lot of effort in the evidence-gathering process—it's very detailed and realistic. Very well written.
