Oh god. The first time I’ve ever finished a book out of pure spite.
What could have been a compelling story got so muddled up in so much that seemed unnecessary: red herrings that waste huge chunks of time, every character’s inner voice sounding similar, the death of the most interesting character, the conclusion by the most annoying character, and the first chunk told by Wyatt which felt just so out of place.
And then the killer being someone that felt completely out of left field?
This just felt really messy and not particularly well-thought out.
