The mystery and political/legal aspects of this book were really interesting - I can see why it is hailed as a classic of its genre. That being said, I hated every single character. I’m not sure how much was intentional on the author’s part, or how much the misogyny, racism and homophobia has NOT aged well since 1987. It’ll be one and done for me for this author.
