4.0
It took me a long time to get into the story. Not much happens at the beginning, and the first 100–150 pages felt slow. I also found the book overly descriptive at times, and the characterization could have been stronger, especially for the side characters.
However, the story eventually picks up. I became invested in the murder mystery and the plotline surrounding Darlington. The world-building and atmosphere were compelling, the intrigue steadily built throughout the story, and I appreciated the way the book explored power, privilege, and trauma.
