It's giving Hallmark crime movie. Characters liked to name drop obscure historic references almost in an uncanny valley way. Slow to start but ramps up during the second half. I also read this for book club and thought it was quite an obscure pick. The audiobook narration is top-notch though, performed by three different actresses for the three main characters.
