This was really close to a perfect mystery. I feel like it wobbled just a bit at the end, but the beautiful prose and well crafted mystery at the center make it well worth the read.

I personally really enjoyed reading this book! Felt there were so many twists and turns especially as I got closer and closer to finishing it up. It did take me a bit to get into the book as I did jump from a completely different genre and tone of voice but nonetheless it was an interesting read from beginning to end. I do wish I had the detective skills that Aiden has!!

Graphic: Sexual violence, Violence, and Gun violence

Gun violence:

One or more character(s) are killed or injured by shotgun, and the description of the aftermath can be graphic

Knife violence:

One or more character(s) are killed or injured by bladed weapon, and the description of the killing can be graphic

Implied sexual violence

A character is said to have raped in the past and his present thought process is described, though I don’t think he acted upon his desires through the course of this story
