Had I read this before reading Jasper Fforde's excellent Nursery Crime Detection Series, this book might have been more, well, tolerable. Well, no, probably not even then. It may simply be a matter of style, but this book seems far more impressed with itself than it has any right to be, which results in a very self-aware style I found grating. I skipped to the end, did not find the twist all that interesting, and did not bother finishing it. Perhaps I simply do not drink heavily enough to find this book entertaining. That might have helped.
