Not a fan. Too many unimportant details. The story was confusing to follow - maybe it would have helped to read the first book? Also, most of the characters are unlikable.

3.0

lots of copaganda (us security marshall-ganda?) in this one, but a smaller dose of the usual violent misogyny that is typically found in a Karen Slaughter novel. Which is not to say there was none but it was less prominent. This was a fairly slow book with the mystery being solved in like twenty pages at the end but I’m not mad about that and still found it interesting.
