Also, I know it's a murder mystery but I wasn't expecting so much casual death. Was a bit grim at times.

The murder mystery aspect does have good payoff, and the characters are rich and lovable. I think it suffers from too many POV characters up front and not enough storyline events to justify the story’s overall complexity.
That said, it’s an impressive first novel from Osman with good mystery and great characters.
