DID NOT FINISH

DNF. No idea how this has so many high reviews. I got 25% through and so far it's been the same three things hashed and re-hashed, over and over again. How many times do we need the same pieces of information fed to us? The writing is boring and the mystery itself is standard fare, nothing memorable.
slow-paced

Curse my inability to let myself have a DNF when I am behind on my reading goal. Honk shoo! 

I'm tremendously impressed with Donlea's ability to craft an incredibly compelling & genuinely surprising narrative that I didn't predict at any point. Very new to his work, but looking forward to diving in headfirst.
