That and the complete lack of actual investigation on the part of the detective left me a little confused as to how this has been pitched as a mystery / crime story at all.
The main character seems to just hang out in the local area and it gets solved because someone eventually tells him the answer.
So many plot holes it was painful. Oh that character isn't violent because he once worked in a butchers and couldn't wring a chickens neck? But he has literally just hunted a rabbit and split it open to gut it for cooking and doesn't blink?
