I think the pacing of the second part of the book was much better than the beginning. This took a very long time to clear its throat, metaphorically speaking, and I was quite bored with everything by the time things really started to get spicy.
That said, the mystery was very well done, and the ambiguous ending was quite good to my mind.
For those worried about Red's apparent rambling thoughts, I'd likely say she's got ADHD. It sounds like it, with the fixations and the lack of object permanence. Just go in with an open mind and a bit of kindness.

That being said, I was not a fan of Red as a character and didn’t feel connected to her at all. All of her forgetful, scatterbrained-ness didn’t seem to be helpful to building her as a character and seemed only to be used as plot mechanism more than anything else.

it was intense and rather stressful at times, and i loved the feeling of 'time running out' in the story.
personally, i liked red (the mc) because she was quite a fleshed out and layered character. the others... were not so much. there was one character in particular who absolutely made me go bonkers because they were so annoying
anyway, the twists were good, and i thoroughly enjoyed myself.
if you're looking for a fast paced mystery thriller that takes place in one night in a rather confined area, i would recommend this book!
