This felt like a slow burn, but I think that’s because the unraveling of the mystery was so paced and intentional. The varying points of view lended to a distrust of the main characters while we sorted through the evidence. It was an interesting viewpoint for the reader, too, because it felt like the characters were confessing or otherwise entrusting their experiences to the reader. Hard to explain, but I appreciated that element. It was unexpected.
