The audiobook was great with a good narrator.
Slow paced to start but really picks up as the tension builds until you don't want to put it down.
A lot of social commentary on environmentalism, activism, capitalism and the existence of billionaires. From a white middle class western perspective but this is acknowledged and intentional I think. A lot to unpick.

The beginning of the book was really slow. It took a long time to care about any of the characters and the ending is pretty messed up.

The groundwork is building into the mysteries.
The Darvishes are an interesting couple.
I can see how things might go. The creepy guy has an unusual background. And he treats his employees really poorly.
Well, I did not see that coming. Reminds of The Departed. Whew! I need to think on this before rating.
I agree with Tony. It is blood money. I don't care for billionaire philanthropy; they're just trying to make up a better image to counter the truth of how they got that money: exploited labor, tax avoidance, and other shady things instead of just being a good person with good corporate practices.

this book really took a turn from being sort of slice of life, slightly heady and satirical character investigation to very plot driven and i wasn’t sure i’d love it but i actually did. wowee
