Just finished "The Silence of Bones" by June Hur, and I'm landing on a casual 2.5/5 stars for this one. Gotta be real with you, the first 100-150 pages were a struggle.
But hey, if you power through that snooze-fest, the second half is a whole different ball game. Suddenly, you're knee-deep in a murder mystery, and the guessing game begins. There are some decent plot twists that keep things entertaining, and you're genuinely trying to piece together who the killer is.
Now, here's the kicker—I felt the ending was a bit lackluster. After all the anticipation, it fell a tad flat for me. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad book. It just takes some endurance to get to the good stuff. If you're into historical mysteries and can weather a slow start, it might be worth the read.
