I don't have much to say other than when the killer was eventually revealed, although I didn't suspect it would be them, I just didn't care.
Both Carla and Miriam were just.. not enjoyable in the slightest. Carla was boring and bland, and seemed massively underdeveloped, while Miriam just seemed like the nosy neighbour who can't keep her nose out of anyone's business
I think if she'd kept the same cast of characters, but had it from the focus of only one or two characters, it would have been much more enjoyable. But, the switching between the main 4-5 characters, and focusing so much on previous deaths just got distracting and made the story feel bogged down to the point that the actual recent murder didn't even seem like the main plot point.
Altogether, after thoroughly enjoying Girl on the Train and thoroughly disliking this and Into the Water, I really can't see myself picking up another book by Paula Hawkins. I want to love her, I really do, but she just makes it so hard to do so.
