Richard Osman's The Impossible Fortune
I was having one of those things where I would get like 20 percent into a book and completely lose interest, but this one grabbed me right away and held on! It's not even that the mystery, which involves the best man from Joyce's daughter's wedding in fear for his life, is what kept me interested (though it is action-packed), or even the side plots, it's just that this book has a really fun narrative tone and great characters and lots of hilarious little moments. This felt more light and optimistic than the previous ones (aside from some mentions of domestic violence). Just a joy to read. A/A-.
