This book is not the audience for me. While I would want to try something else from the author, I found the characters to unlikable to find anyone to latch on to in the tense turning plod of the plot. I feel the mystery is interesting in concept, but feels like it should be character driven versus a plot b of the story. The writing is fun, and I did the audiobook version enjoyed the narrator.
