Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The book is marked as a thriller but it's more of a slow burn mystery.

An old man dies in a nursing home. After he's wheeled away, everyone mourning his loss, his girlfriend Daphne, admits she killed him. And she's killed before. 

Enter Ruth, a podcaster determined to find out the truth. But she has an ulterior motive. 

Slow paced with very unlikeable characters this brings you all the way from Canada in the 1920s to present day with feminist undertones.

I enjoyed it even if I was expecting it to be something different & more fast paced.

Thanks to Netgalley & Headline for this eARC.
