The characters feel very fleshed out and believable. I really enjoyed the shift to first person narration in the last part, it gave a character I didn’t think I would enjoy a lot more depth.
Lenny is a bitch but Martin deserved that.

The writing is smart, but the character development is lackluster. Most of the true-crime elements fizzled towards the middle and it almost felt like this was two separate novel ideas that got smashed into one.
