Though the beginning was a little slow and I’m not gonna lie I was thinking “Why should I care?” For the first like two or three chapters, when it picks up it gets good. I did not guess the ending one bit and it was well explained. I wasn’t think this is majorly far fetched like some of the other mysteries I’ve read. Very well done. Would recommend.

I can appreciate this book for what it is - revolutionary for its time, politically piercing and gripping. 

I had my predictions for who dunnit. I finished it in a single sitting. 

I just don't think plot-driven murder mysteries with a huge ensemble cast are my thing. I prefer character-driven development and I really want to care about the fate of the people I'm spending time with. 

It was an easy read, but not super satisfying.
