4.0

It is set as a classic detective story. The twist is that the pov is the criminal. His philosophy is understandable to a degree however i cant help but feel that more historical knowledge about the different philosophical streams could help in pinpointing the real moral crossroads of each character.

I have definitely enjoyed the vibe of Petersburg and the gloomy state of mind of the protagonist. 

As of now i have to read a couple of  interpretations and in the future go for a second read-through to understand the genius of the book.
