slow-paced

2.0

This wasn't amazing, it did nothing for me and I'm happy it's done. The ending sucked. I only liked the female narrator who read ch. 71 (she read others, I just didn't keep track).  The other female and the male narrator were so dreadfully dull and boring, so bland... I'd rather hear a computer read their chapters out.

I'm surprised how much I enjoyed the book. 
It's about a brutal murder taking place in the past and a similar crime taking place in the present. I really like these kinds of stories. 
This was fast-paced, the twists and turns surprised me, all loose ends were tied up, nothing really annoyed be. And I even liked the characters, although some of them were a little one dimensional. But I guess that's what I liked so much, no unnecessary personal drama. 
It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it gave me exactly what I needed from the story.
