What was this book even about? The main character was a psychopath who only cared about completing her job without regard for whether it was the right thing to do or for the right cause. No development or character building outside of that. There was so much space wasted to Bruno's emails. What did they ever have to do with anything? Can someone please point out the mystery or thriller aspect to this book?

DID NOT FINISH: 54%

Just could not get into it. Took me two months just to get halfway through the book, and I never found myself excited to pick it up.
