It’s a neat mystery and I was interested in where it was going. It’s very logic based and straight forward at times which is definitely a sign to look at the words spoken and find a new direction. Mystery novels will be like that. I will say that I felt the ending could have had a little more flavor. There’s details that are given in the end that I wish were given slightly earlier so that there’s more applied pressure. Overall, I liked it. The characters each had their dynamic, motives were pulled left and right. The reveal at the end was exquisite as all the unanswered questions I had are revealed.
Graphic: Murder
Moderate: Suicide
Minor: Rape
