I loved the premise, had a really good time with the environment and how everything was set up, and thought the characters were so sweet. My biggest hang up is the BBEG because the rationale and build up didn’t feel fleshed out enough, and there wasn’t much feeling looking back on the story to feel all that impacted by the reveal. The ending was satisfyingly tense in spite of it though, but that’s entirely because I really liked the MC.

Been stuck in an airport all day and bought and completed the book here. It is very captivating and tense. As a murder mystery I usually have some guess as to what I expect. This book flipped all expectations, when I thought I knew what was happening it all changed (but in an excellently paced way). The main character is loveable but has clear flaws from the get go. There is diversity but it's not heavily forced, it is just part of the characters. 

HAVE ADDED A LIST OF CONTENT WARNINGS (the most important is the graphic detail of gore that was a bit unexpected).
