I thoroughly enjoyed it until about 90%, but the ending was as bad as mystery book endings go. There are so many unnecessary plot points, and very few of the conflicts are actually solved by the end... It's a gripping, fast read, but has many, many mistakes.
Graphic: Murder, Death, and Blood
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship and Animal death
Minor: Abandonment
