But really it isn't a bad book by any means. It's just not for me.

I thought Najwa was an interesting character and detective in the way she interacts with both her past and her grief. However, I wish we had gotten to know the other characters better before the mystery really kicked off, which would have helped me get more invested. Most characters have another side that slowly (or quickly, for some) gets revealed over the course of the story.
As for the ending,
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Scrabble, explorations of grief, and mysteries with unique settings.
