Minor: Physical abuse, Ableism, and Vomit

There is a fairly detailed description of a home invasion. I would say it is more detailed than the descriptions of murder and the trauma that it causes is a central focus of the book.

I found the most interesting bits of this book to be the beginning and the end when the pace was quickest and most of the action took place. The actual "bad guy" was obvious very quickly, but the way the mystery played out was unexpected enough to catch me off guard. Aside from some frustrating naivete from the main character and some solid doses of fat shaming scattered in, this was a quick, pretty enjoyable read.
