Great book.
I loved how slow yet fast this book was. The entire story unfolds in two days and when you remember that you have been reading about only two days since the last 200 pages, it does piss you off a little but at the same time, the story is fast moving. Loads of small details and additions to the story here and there. I actually loved how you didn’t know who the victim (and the murderer, obviously) was until the last 10 pages or so, so this keeps you at the edge of your seat.
My views on the characters are 50-50%. I’d say that they are too sad and depressing, and sometimes it feels like its just the same person with a different back story.
So base line: the characters weren’t diverse when it comes to their personality. Everyone’s miserable and sad :(
The end felt rushed. I mean, it was complete but the lose ends could have been tied im a better way.
Overall, its a good book. Worth a read.
