I really enjoyed this audiobook and remain a fan of this author's work.
While I initially found the story gripping, the big reveal was a little anticlimactic for me. I would've loved to have seen some of the truths slowly being revealed as Sade worked through the clues. The big reveal felt a little info dumpy and didn't help with the pacing either which had become glacial.
I look forward to seeing what this author writes next.
