DNF @ around 65%. Moved way too slowly for me and was frustratingly dull.

This was a hard read for me. I felt like the author changed voice too frequently and without it being obvious. I'd be reading and suddenly I'd be very confused. Oh, wait, this is another character!

I did like that the author didn't resolve the story for us. That's why I gave it two stars instead of 1.

I wish I hadn't slept on this novel, it was so good. This was a novel based more on the characters, each with an individual plot, than an overarching plot which confused me greatly at the halfway mark. It does feel like it was written to be read at least twice which I will absolutely be doing in the future, I'm sure I missed stuff. Very much recommended if you like your mysteries a little different.
