Macho, misogynistic, racist, childish, and not especially well-written. Unnecessarily dark and upsetting.

I wouldn’t recommend this to someone that wants a methodical mystery laid out for the reader to solve in tandem with the characters. This is a thriller full of twists and turns, it will take you on an unpredictable ride and the clues are tiny details that are hidden in throw away lines. Overall enjoyable if you don’t mind just following along.
