- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.5
This was definitely a slower pace than I tend to like. It started so well with finding out in the first paragraph that the narrator has committed a murder, but throughout the backstory and the aftermath I just never particularly liked the characters enough to invest in their journey.

For all its literary pretense, a crime novel and confession in the mode of The Killer Inside Me except the narrator is a Newfie bird artist. Extraordinary.
