Extremely slow paced, major plot events don't really take place until the last 1/3 of the book, but still definitely worth reading. Unreliable narrator but not really focused on, as much as it's always just in the back of the reader's mind. The book itself never comes to a clear conclusion about the guilt or innnocence of most of the characters as some people might want, but explores how all of the pieces of the real story may have played out.
