The novel format is quite interesting. It really shows how uncovered cases go through a strenuous process. It grips you with numerous plot twists that leave you wondering what ifs and whys. It tackled the injustices happening in those teeny tiny details that people wouldn't have noticed out in the open. I love the confrontational personality of the heroine. It's a quality I don't think happens in a lot of stories. It demonstrated how seeking the truth can sometimes force you into a corner, putting you in danger and requiring sacrifice, and how being kind was the bare minimum, but people were naturally cruel. I don't know if I am ready to read book two, but I'm sure I'm going to love it. You can never go wrong with the mystery genre, as it's my favorite.
