4.0

This book comes off as very conflated and confusing. You get the gist of what’s happening but we are definitely going around the side of the barn a couple of times to get there.
The protagonist is believable but makes questionable choices and some of the other characters were so paper thin I had to go back in the book to figure out who they were and why they were in the present scene.
And yet…it’s highly readable and will only take a day or so to finish being so compelling with a mystery that unfolds well paced and with a nice
Courtroom ending
.
I hear the book is being fitted for a tv series so that should tell you something about the quality (good) and strength (excellent) of the writing.
