Compelling enough that I finished it, but unfortunately I think something was, quite literally, lost in translation here. There were typos in names, and with the large cast of characters and the author frequently switching from using first named to last names, I often had to stop and flip back to figure out which character we were following. I also disliked the reveal at the end, it made the whole mystery element feel cheap and misleading.
