This would have been a great book if the main character hated women and people of colour less.
Never in my life have I read a book so aimed at the single white 30 year old man.
It was a grand and epic plot, which was really well executed given the amount of storylines - but the bias within is really hard to stomach.
If I hadn’t brought this on holiday, I would have put it down again just based on the graphic and sexualised way he described a woman’s murder in the first chapter.
