The plot was kind of guessable save for a few details here and there. I liked the idea of the plot and the “you know when you’re going to die” aspect of it.
The ending felt a bit rushed. I guess there wasn’t much that could be done. But it was not a complete surprise. Would’ve liked to see or two surprise twists.
But the characters were likeable. I liked the mundanity of the problems of the police officers and the miscommunication aspects added in. Usually, when such sub plots are added in and there isn’t much time in the book to go over them, they feel completely out of place. Somehow, in this case, the subplots accorded to the detectives did not feel out of place to me.
