I really liked the beginning of the book and how Ffion and Leo meet and then find themselves working together. Their reactions were great. They are working on the case of what happened to Rhys Lloyd. He was found dead on New Year's Day in a lake. Soon, the reader learns that there are plenty of suspects who would want to harm him.
This is very slow moving, too slow. I am not a big fan of revolving timelines and this book has plenty. A big cast of characters to keep track of. This book is way too long, too. Overall, wouldn't recommend.

Let me start by saying I listened to the is book vs reading it and I think that had a big impact. The names of places and people’s names I just know I would have butchered if I’d read it myself. Having said that I thought this was quite the story! There was a lot going on and it was fun to see how each person connected to the next. However, I do think that there were just a few too many characters for me. I see how it all ties in together but there were just so many characters that I found myself having to go back and forth to remember who was whom and I think that kind of took away from the story a little. Overall, it was a great story, I just found that I was spending more time focusing on being introduced to so many new characters than it took away from my appreciation of what was actually happening in the book.
