What starts as a murder mystery quickly turns into so much more! Seven intertwined lives, a war, love, loss, second chances...this story has so much depth. I enjoyed the multiple POV's and the flashbacks that all give hints of what will happen. I liked the unique world and the diverse set of characters.
I did feel disappointed that the murder mystery took a back seat at some points. It seemed secondary to the rest of the story. And while I did enjoy the story, I did expect more focus on the investigation.

I don't normally like multiple timeline POVs, but I loved these. There is one point that you will be mad the POV switched. When I started reading I was confused. As I made connections on who was who, I was hooked. I really loved Riel and the deaf representation in this book. This book is reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes. If you like Sherlock Holmes, A Good Girls Guide to Murder, or Murder Mysteries you will fall in love with this book.
