i enjoyed the book and for a slow-paced book it went by faster than I thought. i have mixed feelings about the book because it wasn't at all what I expected for some reason, - It felt like this was more of a character-driven book than a good murder mystery where the murder was just a subplot in a way -  the book surprised me in the way that when I thought about reading it initially thought i waa gonna DNF it and not enjoy it.

I FINALLY FINISHED. this book was quite a journey. I think it was maybe the writing style or just the plot in general that kind of put me into a reading slump  but I couldn’t enjoy this book. I expected a fun murder mystery but I got a weird love story with way too long descriptions about feathers or the marsh in general that made the book so much longer than it was. the beginning was weird and the only thing that I kind of enjoyed was the questioning at the end. I did kind of expect the ending just because people always said it’s gonna be crazy but it’s quite predictable. but I have to say I’m really not impressed with this book I expected more and better. I do hav to say that I liked the ongoing conversation about racism as well as alcohol and abuse but this book was a huge disappointment. 

btw huge red flag that the author is wanted for questioning about a murder
