I really was in the mood for a good crime read but this wasn't it. Meandering and multiple storylines that conclude in a somewhat bland ending.
To summarize the last half of the books plot imagine this dialog over and over again: did you kill him? No, but here is my sad backstory
Moderate: Drug abuse, Death, Dementia, Murder, and Suicide
Minor: Child death

The story also raises some moral issues to chew on, and while I like how most of them are handled, I did think there was a bit too much approval (unless it was just meant to be tired acceptance?) of suicide/killing of someone because they are old/tired/incapacitated.
That said, I'm quite intrigued to continue the series at this point!
Moderate: Dementia, Grief, Murder, Terminal illness, and Suicide
Minor: Sexual assault, Infidelity, and Child death
