Not just quite the book for me. The narrator is as wordy as Humbert Humbert, but much less charming or interesting, and cares desparately what people think of him. It's just not much fun listening to him. But yes, I like strong narrators, and food, surprises, and crime, so it was fun enough, in its way.
