Really slow and then picked up speed by the last few chapters. My first crime book and it was an alright one to start with. Really wish they refrained from shaping the 14 year old incest R/SA survivor turned murderer as the sole 'bad guy' and rather the victim of those horrific crimes who had been groomed and abused. Justice is not given to the victims by the end and the big bad guy takes his own life so I felt like nothing had been achieved.
