A read
challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced

Overall a unique mystery thriller from a perspective outside the detective. Also nice that the reporter is just a reporter and not some hero reporter that can also detective. At points it felt a bit rushed and evidence simply revealed instead of discovered but the twist at the end makes for a good read.

This book should be called Sticky Legs sheerly due to the number of times Flynn wrote about them as if they added to the plot.
