The red herrings, all the very convenient coincidence 'link' between the team in charge with the actual case? The non stop cliffhanger reveals? It gets me going very fast, it's working, but it gets silly overwhelming and unnecessary all the more by the end. And the last cliffhanger? Like?!
Phew anyway.
By the middle I was getting uncomfortable by the ethics, but then again I bet it's meant to be that way: to put us, not as this book's reader, but in the very seat of the audience who'd watch the show: Infamous. The intended ways of putting us in direct POV? Works. If you cut it by 20-50 pages with less tails, could've been an easier 4 stars and up.
