Daniel Kraus made a huge impression on me from his Zebulon Finch duology and I was excited to read something else of his. The descriptive writing was 100% there but I will say I was disappointed by the misleading summary. The book itself was good, just not what I was expecting because it didn't line up with the summary. I was looking forward to a murder mystery thriller but ended up reading about a lengthy flashback (nearly the whole book) about two isolated events in a friend group's lives. I probably still would have read it if the summary represented it accurately but I think I felt the book was just ok because I was expecting something totally different.
So, I would say it's worth the read but don't get overly excited based on the summary.
