This book was painfully slow. It was painfully slow until the very very end and then it felt like the author knew he had to end it soon so he just threw a crap ending together similar to the way a procrastinator writes a 10 page paper 2 hours before it’s due.

I enjoyed some of the characters and it had potential to be so good as a true crime/detective book but it definitely missed the mark by a landslide.

Jag läste den eftersom det var så längesen när jag läste en deckare eller en bok på svenska.
Lättläst, inte lång och en bra introduktion till serien.

Mysteries need good red herrings, but this was extreme. Most of the book spent on answers that didn't pan out. Ending was lackluster and disappointing.

A great procedural that felt like a thriller in parts.
