Also a smaller spoiler but the whole "Isram" thing feels incredibly out of place. Like this book references real life cultures and bigotry so many times but she felt the need to create a whole new place which is obviously just there as a stand-in for like any "Arab" country? Just feels like it was made specifically so that these short parts of the book had a sort of fictionalized cloak on them while leaving everything else largely realistic (in terms of cultures) for reasons unknown to me.

i enjoyed this but found it a little bit of a struggle nearer the end. after the first 50 pages the pace picks up and the mystery unravels with brilliant timing. then i found myself not enjoying it quite as much after the funeral. i can't place my finger on it. maybe the ending of the main book, maybe the ending of the epilogue. despite this i'd recommend reading as the mystery as a whole is worth it.
TW for a tiny bit of explicit homophobia, with a homophobic slur, and anti-semitism.
