DID NOT FINISH: 61%

I just couldn't get over how every single woman in this book was so horribly infantalised. 

They were all portrayed as naive, annoying, stupid children who were only there to be murdered or victims.

I didn't notice this in the first book in the series as there was only one woman like this, and it seemed like a genuine character trait. However, the fact that the FOUR main women in this book are all portrayed in such a misogynistic manner meant I couldn't continue reading.

The mystery was relatively interesting, but not enough to wade through so many more hours of this nonsense.
