The only character I cared about was Staunton whose alleged "friend" Jack Haldean treated him abominably. Haldean came across as utterly unlikeable - shallow, with zero empathy or sympathy, no sense of awareness of what others were going through. This was especially true in his dealings with Stanton, who he bullied right from the start of the story. The near total absence of likeable characters meant that I couldn't connect with the story
